MATTER IS THE SOURCE OF TIME
Aristotle was the first to point to matter as the bearer of reality (entelechy). “Just as the substrate, the essence of being of a thing and their combination are called essence, so is the general. As for the first two, we have already spoken about them (namely, about the essence of the existence of a thing and about the substrate, about which we said that it lies in the basis in two ways: either as an existing certain something - just as a living being is the bearer of its properties, - or as matter is the bearer of entelechy)”. (Aristotle. Works. T. 1. M., " Thought", 1975. p. 213)
The moment of reality and the moment of present time is a necessary consequence of material changes. But this is nothing new either. Us
again ahead of Aristotle: " However, time does not exist without change (for us in this study it should not make a difference whether we talk about movement or change)" (Aristotle. Works. T. 3. M., " Thought" 1981. p. 147)
Further. “Now” follows a moving [object] just as time [follows] a movement: after all, we recognize the previous and the next in motion by the moving [object], and since the previous and the next can be counted, there is also “now”, so that in them, according to the substratum, “now” is identity (for the previous and the next belongs to the movement), but its being is different, because “now” exists, since the previous and the next can be counted. And this is most understandable: after all, both movement [is cognized] through a moving [body] and movement - through a displaced one, since the displaced is a definite object, and the movement is not. Thus, in one respect " now" is always identical, in the other it is not, for such is the body being moved.
It is also clear that if there is no time, then there will be no " now", and if there is no " now", there will be no time either, for together there exists both the movable with displacement and the number of the displaced with the number of displacement. Time is the number of displacement, and " now", as well as being displaced, is, as it were, a unit of number" (Aristotle. Works. T. 3. M., " Thought" 1981. p. 149)
Aristotle was the first to understand and correctly explain the truths of the time. Truth gives rise to object and fact, but not opinion.
Material changes are the only and necessary source of time. And it is necessarily composed of moments of reality that are the same for each body. Each of this moment is called a real state and has a characteristic in the form of the corresponding moment of the present time.
Aristotle's truths can be formulated in modern language.
P152. Aristotle's principle for time
Time is a sequence of a number of moments of the present time, the only source of which is the necessary changes in things. It is matter and below corporeality that are necessarily the only sources of changing reality, since all things consist only of this. (2. 5. 0. ) 153

THE LAW OF EVENTS
The time model is convenient as a one-dimensional scale, the beginning of which can be any event that has occurred. The scale division is divided into equal intervals. The value of the interval is taken as a unit.
154. The law of the event
An event is a certain concrete state of a certain concrete body. Any event always and necessarily corresponds to a specific moment of the once present time, which is necessarily the same for all of Being. (2. 5. 0. ) 154
This is a key law of nature. For example, we use a time scale where the zero mark is an extremely short moment of the beginning of the year of the event of the Nativity of Christ.
The law of event can be formulated in the following way:
P155. The law of the simultaneity of events
Simultaneous events are events that belong to one extremely short moment of reality. This moment is necessarily the same for any body of Being, since only the last states of bodies from a series of already occurring states are real. (2. 5. 0. ) 155
SLOW TIME IS A FICTION
In the light of the law of reality of Being, time is absolutely incompressible. But slowing down the speed of material processes is quite possible.
P156.
Time is not an essence, but only a characteristic of the existence of any body. (2. 5. 0. ) 156
And if, due to relativistic processes, the development of material processes slows down, then it can be called something else, but not " time dilation. "
P157
In relativistic processes, any body is really necessary only and only in its last state, from a number of those that have already occurred. And his last state (from a number of those that have already happened) is really necessary. It is simultaneously with all the last states (from a number of those that have already occurred) of all things of Being. Nevertheless, there are no obstacles to material processes happening there more slowly. (2. 5. 0. ) 157
There is no obstacle to the " twins effect". The " twin effect" has its roots in the slowing down of relativistic processes, but not in the slowing down of time.
We are accustomed to counting the time interval from some event to some moment of reality, although it follows the other way around:
