What is time?

Answer 1

Something that humans created... just another stupid idea by humans to get you down. You know... time goes bye... and then... you die.... (there's a song like that)

Answer 2

We live in the physical realm, and perceive time as linear.
From a physical perspective, Time = Distance / Speed.

From a logical perspective, time seems to be imaginary. Since if time is real, then there should be an eternity past. But if there is an eternity past then we could not logically be here in time now. There would also be an eternity future which would be equal to eternity past.

Conclusion, there must be a dimension that is non-physical where time happens all at once, or is non-linear.

This is why I believe in a God who is in the non-physical realm. He can see the future as clearly as the past because it is non-linear for him. It is only logical.

Answer 3

Time is Change
For everthing that is in motion there is change therefore, it is subject to Time.
Time is like this, a line of events that are not set in concrete for a time appointed, yet when time or change passes it becomes set in concrete and can not be changed. It can be revisited and observed in a machine of future devisement yet it must still be as in the present and the future.
<----------------------Future is always move to the past
O----x---x---oOo---x---x---O<---------Past
Start Present Event Future
X= past event o_o= you are here present
Time is physical thing
(Rev 10:6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:

Answer 4

It's fictional. It's a human thing for women to get mad at when men don't keep to it. It's to give bosses an excuse to fire staff. It's a measurement of age. It determines that a 16 year old can have a child, marry, but can't buy a pint. It is the thing that prisoners want to pass quicker and pensioners want to pass slower. It flies when you're having fun, but it doesn't have wings. It's what makes clocks tick........

Answer 5

Go to the library and find Aristotle, On Physics and read books three and four on movement and on time. Then you will have the classic understanding of time. Hawking, in his A Short History of Time makes many references to Aristotle.

Answer 6

Eternal by my understanding. The constant one second tick. Time is the rate at which all things occur. A human ideology that embodies a natural principle of the universe.

Answer 7

Time is events that occur in irreversable succession from past to present to future. We measure time here on Earth in hours, minutes, seconds that add up to years, etc. I know that once a minute of your life has passed, you can never get it back. We haven't yet learned to "turn back time." Our time on earth is short, when you look back on it. Time should be used wisely and that includes time for relaxation, de-stressing.

Answer 8

Time is the mental relation of events, comprising of the past, present, and future. Paradoxically, we live only in the present, yet are forever unable to pinpoint "the present". The present is the instantaneous transition of the future into the past.

Answer 9

Well time is humanity's way to calculate the begining and ending of the day, that's not to say that humanity is right in it's scientific thinking but we live with it regardless.

Answer 10

Time is part of the nature of the universe. There is no separation of space from time. It is space-time. It keeps everything from happening at once.

Answer 11

Time is the measure of duration.

Duration, in turn, is just a span of time.

Time is one of the fundumental units that can only be defined in such recurring definitions.
