They can be expressed through each other, but nothing more. For example, when searching for the smallest discrete temporal intervals of subjective time, structural units of astronomical time are taken as the standard. Let's assume that t(o) is an astronomical time (1,2,3…n seconds), then t(s) is a subjectively perceived time, but it is still expressed in terms of astronomical time units. We take a number of subjects and force them to measure certain temporal segments, while using only two signals: the beginning of the countdown and its completion. It is very important to understand that both boundaries are set by the subjects (i.e. they [boundaries] are variable and can be distorted from subject to subject), and the experimenter only denotes the duration of the measured period in astronomical units of time (gives instructions to the subject, i.e. sets the value t(o)) and measures the time interval that the subject measured (the subject measured it using only an intuitive sense of time, and the experimenter through astronomical time units (received t(s)). Q is the smallest discrete temporal interval that the subject experiences, and its subjective time will be calculated through it. Q = (t(s))/(t(o)). Formally, in this respect, time is divisible by time, and the result must be a dimensionless quantity. In any case, the physical way of thinking requires it. The dimensionlessness of two time intervals in physics follows from the fact that all events in the physical world, in *all systems* occur in *the same, uniformly flowing time (the principle of simultaneity of Galileo-Newton)*. Such simultaneity does not and cannot exist in the procedural side of the duration reproduction method. A really given interval t (o) is the duration experienced in one section of the” arrow of subjective time”, and the duration t(s) is reproduced in another section of it, with respect to which t(o) is already in the past. Further. According to the above considerations, a given interval t (o) in a situation of intense waiting breaks down into a certain number of the individual's own temporal units, and the reproduced duration t (s) consists of this number. In both cases, the subject is dealing with an experienced duration t(v) fixed in his consciousness, consisting of an integer number of the individual's own time units: t(s)=Q*k, where k (1,2,3,4..). Therefore, in the equation Q=(t(s))/(t(o)), the symbol t(o) can only be taken as the number of seconds of a given interval, which has nothing in common with the actual experienced duration, and the psychological meaning of this equation is reduced to finding out what the duration of the proper unit is individual's time in conventionally accepted units of time measurement — seconds.
