It's a little tricky and goes like this: if we have a single item somewhere. This item 'likes' to follow a straight timelike path. Along this path it stays an object, together as one piece and feels no acceleration. If we have any inertial system without acceleration, we could assume it would be at rest and follows a timelike path only. This definition of time is then specific to this particular object and 'the universe' is centred around it. Now this 'the universe' is defined 'relative' to this object and time in respect to that universe. This would mean, 'the universe' is not the real thing, but a particular picture of the universe, a certain inertial observer rightfully has. If now we 'grab' the axis of time and 'pull' it in any direction, the object is accelerated in respect to his personal universe. This acceleration violates the 'wishes' of this object (to stay together in a timelike stable fashion), the object tends to pull the axis of time back to where its own axis of stability is. It would depend on the strength of the pull, which influence is stronger: the acceleration or the binding forces of this object, to determine, who 'wins'. If the object is very small and the forces that accelerate are strong, the object disintegrates. Now: what makes objects 'want' to stay together? We need to assume to general forces: expansion and contraction. Such forces are inverses in respect to each other and create certain waves. These waves tend to stay together in roughly spherical patterns (->atoms), because it goes in and out around the imaginary axis of time. The larger the object, the more tendency to contraction it has and swallows other waves from the environment. Smaller waves could loose contact and 'roll away' and create, what we usually call waves (like e.g. light). Larger object behave like 'cosmic vacuum cleaners' and suck stuff in (what we call gravity). This would enable us to imagine, how it would look like, if we could turn the axis of time into another direction. It is actually possible, but only against the resistance of the larger objects in the vicinity, since they dominate the 'battle' between expansion and contraction in their particular realm. How 'stiff' the axis of time behaves against attempts to bent it, that is dependent on the larger objects. If there is none, the object could fly into any direction and then would keep this direction without acceleration. If there is a larger object (like in our case planet Earth), this would determine the direction of time, but could eventually be inertial itself. TH
