The exact time is not, as many physicists believe, right NOW. the time it took for the image to bounce off your computer screen, travel to your eye, convert to electrical impulse, travel to your brain, be interpreted and then understood is more than absolute zero, so the time now is actually the past, and real nowtime is beyond the realm of experience. Think about this: the speed of thought will always be equal to or slower than the speed of light, so by the time you've thought the smallest possible concept known to man ("I am"), Its already a memory in history. Time is only relative to the observer, so asking another observer what time they think it is is completely subjective and almost irrelevant.
Isn't physics fun?

Time has long been a major subject of philosophy, art, poetry, and science. There are widely divergent views about its meaning; hence it is difficult to provide an uncontroversial definition of time. Scholars disagree on whether time itself can be measured or is itself part of the measuring system. Many fields use an operational definition in which the only definition attempted is that of the units used.

The measurement of time has also occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in astronomy. Time is also a matter of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in our lives. Units of time have been agreed upon to quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them. Regularly recurring events and objects with apparent periodic motion have long served as standards for units of time. Examples are the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases of the moon, and the swing of a pendulum.

Time has historically been closely related with space, most obviously with spacetime in Einstein's General Relativity.

Time can be a state, as in "the meeting starts at 12:45", or the length of an interval, as in "the meeting lasted 3 hours", or a sum of lengths of intervals, as in "I spent 20 hours on this project". In the latter case time is often seen as a commodity ("I have little time.")

Listen up you physics geeks, the question is: What is the time? Not What is time?

So put up your cause and effects and man kinds illusion to keep an ordered universe. The time is 11:26 EST at this moment (my "moment to moment continuum reality".

The questioner methinks is playing with your superior I.Q. Isn't that correct Rajesh S.? Obviously you are a superior
Hindu human being playing with western minds! Touche!

Time is the measure of how long ago the UNIVERSE was created out of BIG BANG. It is considered as the 4th dimension along with x, y, z to determine position vectors of the astronomical bodies..... Hope it defines the time you've asked :)
