Speed of Time Travel

We often come up with various units for measuring different quantities like speed, current, and sound but that's not all. For example, if we say sound we not only refer to the amount of air that the wave vibrated but also the wavelength and shrillness of it. So, attributing it to a specific unit won't work.

The same is true for other quantities like electricity, light, and many other physical and natural phenomena, and also some units are universal attributes like speed and force that is they not only are a parameter for measuring the velocity of objects but also can be attributed to sound, light, and other complex phenomena, and one name in this list is time. Yes, speed can be attributed to time, but that's not true for the physics we are now in, because we are treating time as an attribute for calculating speed and other phenomena.

In my view, physical phenomena are of three types and these are arranged in the order of importance

1. Phenomenon The largest level which has it's own set attributes. Like sound
2. Attributes The second-largest level which is a set of quantities that defines the phenomena. Like wavelength, pitch, volume, etc.
3. Causatives These are the ultimate causes of the phenomena.

In this kind of structure, we are assuming time to be an attribute in various phenomena like force, speed, and many others, but if we assume it to be a phenomenon we will ultimately be able to attribute the speed to it.

So, we all know that speed is nothing but distance/time. Here, the 'time' in the formula is an attribute. So, the formula of the speed of time/time travel will obviously be distance/time.

Here distance is nothing but the amount of time traveled if it has become awfully scary. Let's try a nice thought experiment.

Imagine yourself in a time machine where you've gone out of your mind by seeing such a junkyard of buttons and levers. Acciedently you've pressed some levers and stepped on a button, and the time travel starts. You were in the year 2020 and stayed on that machine for a month till you arrived the year 2021.

In this experiment time traveled by that time machine is a year but it took just a month for you to reach there.

Here, distance = 1 year (12months).

time = 1 month.

So it's really easy to calculate the speed that is 12months/1month.

which equals to 12. That was the speed of the time machine.
