TIME & THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS

The First Law of Thermodynamics states:

---Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It can only change forms---
---In any process, the total energy of the universe remains the same---
---For a thermodynamic cycle the net heat supplied to the system equals the net work done by the system---



1 liter of water is boiled on an electric stove. The temperature of the water changed from 10°C to 99.974°C.

This situation was created to be in accordance with the First Law of Thermodynamics. Energy was not created or destroyed, it merely changed form (electrical to heat). The total energy of the universe has remained the same (assumed, but testable in reality or mathematically). The electric stove supplied heat to the system, and that heat equals the net work done by the system.

However.

Boiling 1 liter of water on an electric stove so that the temperature of the water changes from 10°C to 99.974°C, is also a duration separating two distinct events. Therefore:

(BIG T) TIME is measured in {durations separating [event’] ---> and ---> [event’’]}
(BIG T) TIME is measured in {durations separating [water at 10°C] ---> and ---> [water at 99.974°C]}

where:

[event’] = water at 10°C
[event’’] = water at 99.974°C

According to the First Law of Thermodynamics:

The change in water temperature separating 10°C and 99.974°C is a MEASUREMENT of heat due to the work done by [the process of energy changing from one form to another].

Which can be reduced to:

The change in water temperature separating 10°C and 99.974°C is a MEASUREMENT of [the process of energy changing from one form to another].

English grammar the allows me to flip this statement around the word MEASUREMENT. Therefore:

{the process of energy changing from one form to another} IS MEASURED IN the change in water temperature separating 10°C and 99.974°C.

This statement now looks eerily similar to the equation of (BIG T) TIME. I would like to make an addendum to the First Law of Thermodynamics stating that: ---In any process, a change in energy is non-instantaneous--- So long as this addendum holds true, the following will hold true:

{the non-instantaneous process of energy changing from one form to another} is measured in {durations separating [water at 10°C] ---> to ---> [water at 99.974°C]}

and:

{the non-instantaneous process of energy changing from one form to another} is measured in {durations separating [event’] ---> and ---> [event’’]}

and therefore:

(BIG T) TIME = {the non-instantaneous process of energy changing from one form to another}

or

---(BIG T) Time is the non-instantaneous process of energy changing from one form to another, measured by arbitrarily conceived units of (small t) time---

so long as the First Law of Thermodynamics states:

---In any process, a change in energy is non-instantaneous---
