In physics, the spatial distance d is a product of velocity v and time t: d=vt. Mathematical formalism x4=ict confirms that in special theory of relativity the fourth coordinate x4 is spatial too. x4 is composed of c light speed, imaginary number i, and time t that represents a “tick” of a clock. Time t obtained with clocks describes numerical order of material change t0,t1,t2,…,tn. Clocks are reference systems for measuring frequency, velocity, and numerical order of material changes that run in space. Time t as a component of x4 is the running of clocks in space. This view of time as a measuring reference system sees physical phenomena running exclusively in space and not in time. This view explains some recent experiments which confirm that time t of physical event can be zero.
