What is 'TIME' , an experience or anything else?

Answer 1

Simply a way to measure events

Answer 2

Some definitions of "time"

- A nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.
- An interval separating two points on this continuum; a duration: a long time since the last war; passed the time reading.
- A number, as of years, days, or minutes, representing such an interval: ran the course in a time just under four minutes.
- A similar number representing a specific point on this continuum, reckoned in hours and minutes: checked her watch and recorded the time, 6:17 A.M.
- A system by which such intervals are measured or such numbers are reckoned: solar time.

Answer 3

This truly is the world of illusion (per the teacings of Tibetan Buddhism)... In "reality" there is no time and space... this is just a creation to provide us with the opportunity to experience and grow through the limitiations that having a physical body presents us with... Even in this created reality of the universe, time is but an illusion... We have 24 hours in the day purely and only because that is how long it takes the earth to orbit the sun - how arbitrary and artificial is that?? Time and space are one and the same - time being an expression of how long it takes to travel a certain distance (light to reach us from the sun, earth to orbit the sun, light to reach us from a distant planet, ...).

In short it is simply a useful device to help explain the various cycles of existence that we experience whilst living on this little rock we call earth...

Answer 4

'Time to me is an 'Incarnation of Immortality', as an image an old grey-haired man holding a scythe and a hour-glass filled with sand. The tools can be passed to another and they become the 'incarnation'. The measurement of 'time' as such is the hour-glass each grain containing a certain amount of 'time, the man who is the 'incarnation' starts as a baby growing as the sands of time fall, becoming an old man as he reaches the last grain of sand he turns the hourglass and recedes in agetill he is a baby and again the process continues.

Answer 5

If you don't use you time at present, the current moment, then you can not get it back. It is spent -no- wasted once for all. You can not buy it back with all your efforts and wealth. A stitch in time saves the country. Timely help.
It is a scarce resource with no course to recoup..

Answer 6

My personal concept of time: ....I have a theory that time is the present...then it bends backward (not forward) on itself until it intersects with our past which then creates the future...which is "now"....so everything leaps off from this present moment....and it can be a real head trip if you really think about it...because as I write this, I am in the moment...and when you read this it is in your moment...and there isn't anything else...but this moment...which then becomes my past and your present. [Whoaa!]

Answer 7

time is defined as the rate of change of present into past or the rate of change of future into present. (just joking)

also, time implies temperature>0k. at absolute 0, there is no kinetic motion, so nothing changes, and the passage of time can only be perceived by means of a change in something. (does this makes sense?)

btw, that was nice RiverH
