What is time?

Answer 1

When we measure time we are measuring the difference between two states of matter. For instance when you look at a clock and see the second hand has moved from one place to another. So it would appear that time might in fact derive from the fact reality has different states.

" ... time is an illusion.
The phenomena from which
we deduce its existence are real,
but we interpret them wrongly. " Julian Barbour

Answer 2

Physical time is a velocity, that of "c". The reason it is said to be this velocity, is that mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. This means that all forms of mass and energy are moving at this speed in some manner. Everything in our universe is moving from the present to the past as the same speed - which is why clocks work. Any value that did not change from the present to past at this value would cease to exist in our universe. Clocks all have as the basis of what they measure the value of "c".

There is an equation that deals with this question, it is c2 = E/m. This demonstrates that the value of "c" is that of energy. That as the energy/mass relationship values change, so also does the end value of the two. The field generated by these two values moves at the speed of light, and is known to us as a gravitational field.

Answer 3

TIME IS SOMETHING TO DO ANY THING A=OR WHAT EVER YOU WANT YOU CAN PLAY YOU CAN STUDY YOU CAN EAT YOU CAN LEARN YOU CAN WATCH THE TV YOU CAN DO ANYTHING IN THE TIME AND THERE IS TWO KINDS OF TIMW WHICH IS WORKING TIME AND SLEEPING TIME THE FIRST ONE THE WORKING TIME ALL THE PEOPLE WORK ALL THE STUDENTS GO TO THE SCHOOL AND ABOUT THE SECOND KIND WHICH IS SLEEPING TIME IT IS FOR SLLEPING ALL THE PEOPLE SLEEP ON IT UNTIL THE MORNING CAME WHICH IS THE WORKING TIME AND GO TO THEM WORK THAT WHAT TIME MEAN

Answer 4

asking the meaning of something means that this something exists.
let's imagine for a moment it does not exist.

absence of time and existence of everything else in a system would not allow any change of status in that system. take a picture, for example: sun, people, trees - images - are still, without time, nothing can change status, nothing can move.

who can notice that? an observer outside the system, who can change his perception and is located in a space where time exists.

an observer is fundamental in the notion of time.
elemental particles exist because they move and because we observe them.

Answer 5

Does anybody really know what time it is? It's the fourth dimension.

Answer 6

time: that thing that never goes fast enough when you are at work

I'll tell you later.
