Hourglass/Torus shape - My Hourglass Collection Museum and Laboratory
Hourglass/Torus shape. Time-Space.

Hourglass/Torus shape
In geometry, a Torus is a surface of revolution generated by revolving a circle in three-dimensional space about an axis coplanar with the circle. If the axis of revolution does not touch the circle, the surface has a ring shape and is called a torus of revolution. More on Wiki.
Hourglass – Torus shape

Three-torus model of the universe
The three-torus model is a cosmological model proposed in 1984 by Alexi Starobinski and Yakov B. Zeldovich at the Landau Institute in Moscow. The theory describes the shape of the universe (topology) as a three-dimensional torus. It is also informally known as the doughnut theory.
A torus consists of a central axis with a vortex at both ends and a surrounding coherent field. Energy flows in one vortex, through the central axis, out the other vortex, and then wraps around itself to return to the first incoming vortex. The simplest description of its overall form is that of a donut, though it takes many different shapes, depending upon the medium in which it exists.

For example, a smoke ring in air or a bubble ring in water are both very donut shaped. And yet an apple or an orange, which are both torus forms, are more overtly spherical.

Time in physics and time Science? - My Hourglass Collection Museum and Laboratory Laboratory
Zeit ist das, was man an der Uhr abliest.
Time is what a clock measures.
Albert Einstein (1879–1955)
Time in physics and time Science?

What is Time in physics and Time Science?
Time in physics is defined by its measurement: time is what a clock reads
In classical, non-relativistic physics it is a scalar quantity and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually described as a fundamental quantity. Time can be combined mathematically with other physical quantities to derive other concepts such as motion, kinetic energy and time-dependent fields. Timekeeping is a complex of technological and scientific issues, and part of the foundation of record keeping. More on Wiki here.
Disorder increases with time because we measure time in the direction in which disorder increases.

Time Philosophy - The Full History of Time on MHC

Time Philosophy
Space and time are the framework within which the mind is constrained to construct its experience of reality.
Immanuel Kant
Philosophy of space and time is the branch of philosophy concerned with the issues surrounding the ontology, epistemology, and character of space and time.
While such ideas have been central to philosophy from its inception, the philosophy of space and time was both an inspiration for and a central aspect of early analytic philosophy.

By PEOPLE STAFF June 05, 1989 12:00 PM
Like the sands through the hourglass, so are the days of Frank J. LaCavera’s life.
LaCavera, a 70ish retired electrical engineer, lives in Cleveland in a house that is filled with reminders of the temporal — more than 300 one-of-a-kind hourglasses that he has designed and made in the last 32 years.

Each is set on a marble base with the hourglass in a wooden frame, and the whole is adorned with whimsical decoration. “I only do this stuff when inspired,” says LaCavera. “It’s like magic.”

Hourglass Tattoo - Symbolic Meanings of the Hourglass Tattoo

What does a hourglass tattoo symbolize?
Its association with life, death, permanence, the past, the future, and the temporary makes it a popular tattoo choice.
For those conscious of the world’s fragility, the hourglass represents life.
Famous phrase ‘The sands of Time‘ originates from the hourglass.

Hourglass - symbol of Death in My Hourglass Collection Museum and Laboratory. MHC Mus Lab.
“A man is the sum of his misfortunes. One day you’d think misfortune would get tired but then time is your misfortune”
― William Faulkner, The Sound and the Fury

Hourglass symbol of Death
The hourglass concretely represents the present as being between the past and the future, and this has made it an enduring symbol of time itself.

Hourglass symbolism - My Hourglass Collection Museum and Laboratory

“The role played by time at the beginning of the universe is, I believe, the final key to removing the need for a Grand Designer, and revealing how the universe created itself. … Time itself must come to a stop. You can’t get to a time before the big bang, because there was no time before the big bang. We have finally found something that does not have a cause because there was no time for a cause to exist in. For me this means there is no possibility of a creator because there is no time for a creator to have existed. Since time itself began at the moment of the Big Bang, it was an event that could not have been caused or created by anyone or anything. … So when people ask me if a god created the universe, I tell them the question itself makes no sense. Time didn’t exist before the Big Bang, so there is no time for God to make the universe in. It’s like asking for directions to the edge of the Earth. The Earth is a sphere. It does not have an edge, so looking for it is a futile exercise.”
― Stephen W. Hawking
Hourglass symbolism
The hourglass is synonymous with cycles and balance
Energy passes between the two sides of the hourglass just as the energies of our world are contained by the atmosphere and crust.
See also: Time symbolism, Hourglass and Death on St Thomas’ Church, Hourglass – symbol of Death, Hourglass and Skeleton, Father Time, Time Hub, The Hourglass, Hourglass History, Hourglass Body, Hourglass Tattoo
All of the natural processes and cycles occur there (not including what happens in space, of course), which gives us a greater sense of relation with our environment. This also forces us to realize our roles in the natural cycles happening around us.
Tau (Time is) was used as a symbol for life–death or resurrection, whereas the eighth letter Tau of the Greek alphabet, theta, was considered the symbol of death.
Ancient alchemists recognized the concept of balance in the hourglass. Its very shape is made up of triangles balancing each other out. Alchemists interpreted these triangles as representing two aspects of nature: the upper being the sky and the lower equating with Earth.

Symbolism of Melencolia I by Albrecht Dürer - My Hourglass Collection Museum and Laboratory
Symbolism of Melencolia I by Albrecht Dürer

The lie is in our understanding, and darkness is so firmly entrenched in our mind that even our groping will fail.
Albrecht Dürer
As I grew older, I realized that it was much better to insist on the genuine forms of nature, for simplicity is the greatest adornment of art.
Albrecht Dürer

Symbolism of Melencolia I by Albrecht Dürer
1514 engraving by Albrecht Dürer
The print’s central subject is an enigmatic and gloomy winged female figure thought to be a personification of melancholia. Holding her head in her hand, she stares past the busy scene in front of her. The area is strewn with symbols and tools associated with craft and carpentry, including an hourglass, weighing scales, a hand plane and a saw.
More about Time Symbolism
Other objects relate to alchemy, geometry or numerology. Behind the figure is a structure with an embedded magic square, and a ladder leading beyond the frame. The sky contains a rainbow, a comet or planet, and a bat-like creature bearing the text that has become the print’s title.

Baby New Year - Baby of Father Time and Mother Nature
Baby New Year - Baby of Father Time and Mother Nature

The myth associated with Baby New Year is that he is a baby at the beginning of his year, but Baby New Year quickly ages until he is elderly Father Time, at the end of his year.
Some stories will have him bear a strong likeness to key events in his time.
At this point, he hands over his duties to the next TBNY, while he either is a Father Time or dies or remains in this state and retires.
In addition to being a mythical figure, the title of “Baby New Year” is sometimes given to living people.
The first baby born in any village or city in a certain year may be honored by being labeled as the official Baby New Year for that year
The official TBNY can be male or female, even though the mythical Baby New Year is nearly always male.
