Time as an ontological category

In the mechanical picture of the world being seen as any why independent measure to measure the duration of events. For example, Newton believed that time is the duration of the event. And  this duration or why does not. One hour lasts the same everywhere. The time is here understood as an absolute, objective process that takes place uniformly, no matter what, and without relation to anything external. It does not depend on the nature of the material systems, the duration of the processes which are expressed. This representation is called the substantial time. At first glance, it is true. Но более глубокие размышления о природе времени неизбежно порождают следующий вопрос, «существуют ли абсолютные часы, ход которых ни от чего не зависит?». But a more profound reflection on the nature of time will inevitably give rise to the following question, "Is there absolute hours, the course of which neither depends on nothing?". Indeed, if the object (e.g., the watch) interact with an object, then they both change to some extent. Such a change should then reflect on the processes taking place in the clock. Thus, in the universe, where everything is in communication, the absolute time need not be.

In considering the above means of physics, Einstein concluded that the stronger the gravitational field (gravitational field), in which the object is, the slower it is changing. Power of the gravitational field is dependent on body weight. Therefore, in systems with a greater mass processes are much slower than with a smaller mass systems. Therefore, we can talk about time dilation in them, Einstein concludes by making one of the fundamental conclusions of his relativistic theory of time. This conclusion was later verified experimentally: one atomic clocks placed in a strong gravitational field, while others left under normal conditions. After a while it turned out that the first few hours behind the second.

Thus, science has data confirming the time dependence of the states of matter. This view of time is called relational. In accordance therewith, there is a relative time value for the state transition characteristics of the object. In other words, the concept of time captures the variability of material systems. If the spatial characteristics of the object is reduced to the determination of its place among other subjects, the time response is a representation of its history as a serial communication conditions. In this history can be relative, if the speed change events in one object is compared with the speed in the other processes. This comparison and reconciliation is the foundation course of the events we are interested in the progress of the processes occurring in the clock. Elementary particle physics, quantum mechanics is considered a relational concept of time as a necessary component of modern scientific picture of the world [1]. The relational concept of time is applicable whether to characterize social systems. It turns out that social time is dependent on the nature of the social object about the same as a physical time depends on body weight. It is noted that the larger the social object, the slower it changes. For example, if the object is a social society as a whole, its transition to a different qualitative state of the hundreds and thousands of years. For example, the transition from the slave society to a feudal lasted several centuries. But if the social object has a smaller scale, the radical changes it may happen in much less time. Thus, the Communist Party in our country for several decades of existence, not only changed its name, but also radically changed its program, strategy and tactics.

Some modern scientists adheres to a constructivist point of view at a time, coming from the philosophies of Hume and Kant. For example, Bertrand Russell wrote that while there is a serial connection of a single bit of information about the world that exists in our minds, with another bit. Therefore, time has a way of organizing information. It is a property of the mind. Beyond human consciousness there is no time [2, с. 111-113].

Thus, in the picture of the world positivists questions concerning the nature of matter, motion, space and time are transferred to the realm of consciousness. This shift is motivated by the fact that the immediate reality only images of objects are always for us, and not the objects themselves. In such a world movement of the film is regarded as a change of psychic phenomena. By space is meant a form of organization of images in a system consisting of simultaneously coexisting elements, and under the age of – their organization into a sequence of changing each other's mental states. The question of the objectivity of the spatio-temporal organization of the outside world is considered to be invalid because of its fundamentally insoluble means of human reason. The question of substance (matter) in positivism considered unscientific because of its unverifiable [3].

The irrationalist philosophy of the time the problem is solved ambiguously. In a number of exercises being considered as a separate substance. In other cases, being considered as a sphere of experience [4].
