What is time (and you can't use the word "time" in your answer)?

Answer 1

It's a chronological measuring device created by human beings to measure the past, current and continuing events in the history of our world.

Answer 2

The continuous Chronilogical order of events that commenced from the primitive exsistance of space, hence-forth until eternity until a higher form of power can override it's unrelenting motion. There is no stopping or hindering it's role in the universe; it alone shapes the face of the galaxy. We all obide by it's rule, and we try to materialize it by means of calenders and clocks; but those are based off the Earth's rotation around the centering sun. This cannot allow us to fathom, although it gives us an inkling of an idea, of how vast the expanse of eternity throughout the cosmos' since the dawn of creation.

Answer 3

There are two distinct views on the meaning of time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. This is the realist view, to which Sir Isaac Newton [1] subscribed, in which time itself is something that can be measured.

A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects. In this view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[2] and Immanuel Kant,[3][4] in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the mental measuring system. The question, perhaps overly simplified and allowing for no middle ground, is thus: is time a "real thing" that is "all around us", or is it nothing more than a way of speaking about and measuring events?

Many fields avoid the problem of defining time itself by using operational definitions that specify the units of measurement that quantify time. 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 long been a major subject of science, philosophy and art. 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 human lifespans. This article looks at some of the main philosophical and scientific issues relating to time.

Answer 4

You asked for it! Here you go :-)

An instance or single occasion for some event.

An indefinite period, usually marked by specific attributes or activities.

A suitable moment

The continuum of experience in which events pass from the future through the present to the past

Duration of an event or action

Metered rhythm as given by division into parts of equal duration

Answer 5

It is something very precious we all want more of, for the things we enjoy, for family members who are very ill or old, for those we love who have used theirs nearly all up. We can give it away to people, for second chances, performance of duties etc. We can use it, but not buy it. If a millionaire could, he would for a few more years of life. We know there is only so much of it for any man, yet it will be here for everyone forever when we no longer have ours. We should all pay much more attention to it, do the best we can with it, remembering to be choicey, because it is very limited and precious.

Answer 6

It is a measurement of distance, specifically applied to demonstrate the present;
1) with respect to the position of the sun relative to the Earth to measure today.
Or
2) relative to a moment in the past or in the future.

Answer 7

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

Answer 8

10:15

Answer 9

It is a measurement of space in a day. It is broken down into minutes, seconds and hours. There are 24 hours in a day, 365 days in a year (except for Leap Year (1 in 4 years) when there are 366 days).

Did I do good? lol

Answer 10

The measurement of moments in seconds minutes hours days and so on which pass by often unnoticed except for those memorable moments that are our experiences.
