Consider the following thinking: everything that passes comes from a place. Time passes alright. So I ask: from where it comes, given that it comes?
If it comes from the present, then where the present came from? If the present timecame from yesterday and yesterday was present one day, then I ask: where all this times came from...?
Think and answer!
tnx and nice week!

You know Kant just made it a faculty of the mind.
Which doesn't really answer the question, but
Kant was pretty smart. And if he's willing to give up
on something as metaphysical as the essence of time,
you can understand our own perplexity.
This is one of those questions you just bracket or go insane.
How do we represent time today?
Graphically, it's the fourth dimension. We can account for what happens in time on a 2 dimensional field.
There's the experience of time-- our cascade of memory in relation to 'now'
And then there's history. And the differing coordinations of time, varying on the local astronomic mechanisms.
Is time cyclic, does it go in a line.. an interdimensional moebus strip? All fair bets. We know we are born at some time-- but we never remember popping into existence-- and we will die as well, but there too it's hard to fathom experience of an end.
Relativity theory, thankfully, expanded our understanding of time and space.
Science Fiction thinks time travel is a real possibility.
Can we conceive it? I'm not so sure.
If the universe, unperceived, exists atemporally, or inherits time as a property -- in abstraction, it all 'happens at once'. And somehow us humans are the slow ones for not seeing it all.

Einstein said time exists so that everything does not happen at once. Time exists because events exist. Time is the ordering of events. Time is said not to exist in a black hole because the gravity of a black hole does not allow any event to occur, even the passage of light. Before the big bang, time was suspended, because there were no events.
Time does not flow by like a river which has a source and an end. Time is a dimension, like space, with which Einstein has linked it. A law of physics states that two things cannot occupy the same space at the same time (at least not without serious consequences.) We measure time and can synchronize our actions with others through the use of time measuring devices such as watches. It is real to us and it is vital to the workings of the universe, but you cannot touch it, bottle it or save it.

Time came from the Big Bang ...... because time is reckoned through change and it is Big Bang that is believed to have started the current expansion phase of this universe which is changing continuously.
I hope you find this as a well thought out answer.
Happy week to you too!!

all the time is created my third dimension through which we can pass and go to past and future also. its all going like a circle
time can not be created nor destroyed we can only live with it .
the time always come back after centuries but with new adding in it.
as one circle of this wheel completes a new part is added which we call technology.

It's all a human concept, the way we humans use our big brains to deal with reality. Plants and animals do not have a concept of time, in our terms they are in an "eternal present".

Time is a dimension (a degree of freedom). It has no more substance than any other indication of position. If you consider that we exist in four dimensions, time is one of our coordinates.
Time does not pass. We change our time location in the same way that we might change our altitude.

Human mind. Nowhere else does time exist. The whole existence is in the present moment, always... !

Time is something mankind created. It is not some scientific thing you can study (although some people think it is). It is a very usefull thing that helps us function and keep scheduales but to me that's all it is.

You need to consults Einstien's theory of relativity. Time is not a constant. Its only relative to the speed at which your traveling...lol
