who invented time?

Answer 1

man made up time.without it how would we know when anything ended or started

Answer 2

Second- "The unit of time is the duration of exactly 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at a temperature of 0 K. Defined by: 13th CGPM (1967-1968) Resolution 1, CR 103" -wikipedia

God in the Judeo-Christian sense is clearly not the correct answer because it took him 7 days to create everything. To me this suggests that a "day" is something independent from and precluded God!

So time has always been?

Interesting question!

Answer 3

Well. I figure you've got two choices.

Either it was a con game invented by the Swiss, to promote the sale of watches.

Or the same guy that invented compound interest.

On a similar note there's a really good book by Dava Sobel "Longitude yadda yadda" Okay it's not really yadda yadda but it's one of those long titles, essentially the story of the first guy to build a clock that was accurate enough to determine Longitute aboard a sailing vessel.

Answer 4

That's a funny thought! I am pleased to tell you that time was the invention of a committee run by Roberts Rules with each and every step a lock-horns of obstructionism; therefore, time invention was necessary to complete the task, and was thereby invented in that committee..

Answer 5

The Ancient Greeks may have invented time, they believed in a god named 'Kronos' which was the god of time. Therefore the Ancient Greeks were one of the first known cases of time invention.

Answer 6

Regrettably God did, when He set the Stars , Moon, and the Sun into the Heaven's.
We all crave for it when it moves so fast and moves so slow when we are sick or in pain. We never have enough of it and run out way before we are ready for it..
A good analogy, seems to fly when you have to have your girl home by10:00 at night, but when you have to walk her to the door when you have her home 15 minutes late and have to talk to her Dad. Seems as if the sidewalk has grown 20 ft.
time has literally stopped. Time is a funny, unique necessity.
If you ever harness it, let me know how you did it.

Answer 7

Time has been with us since pre-history. Even animals are aware of the changes in light during the day. It was the Sumarians who first created our time scale.

Answer 8

It is human's thinking which made time to limit many things like life,work,studies and so on.....
I think it is being run by god and we are running under that time....
It is nothing but the revolution of earth around th sun and day and night are its phases which we feel time is running fast.........
Am I right?

Answer 9

God did. Time is a consequence of light trying to exist with itself in a gravitational field. In this time/space continuum we observe a physical truism that no two bodies that have mass (hense a gravitational field) can exist in the same space at the same time. Light travels an infinite distance in zero time from the perspective of light. It is in all space and yet cannot be in all space with itself at the same time, therefore it exists next to itself in time. Time is a consequence of the existence of light. God created light when he said "Let there be light"
(Genesis Chapter 1 verse 3).
For light, there is no space. And for light, it is always "now". We are the ones who observe the passage of time when we observe the infinite manifestations of that light. It defines the boundaries of the time/space continuum we are in (universe).
No mass can be accelerated to the speed of light, since it would require an infinite amount of energy. Also, no mass can be entirely stopped from moving, i.e. we can't stop the vibratory motion of an atomic nucleus (bringing it to absolute zero degrees Kelvin) for a similar reason - it would take an infinite amount of energy. I might also point out that the concept of our universe as a time/space continuum is not mine, and in my opinion it is misleading. Energy in this universe is quantized, not continuous. Since energy is truly all a symptom of the motion of mass thru time, what we are actually observing when we observe any and all mass and energy in our universe is a single "particle" or "packet" of light, also termed a photon. That same photon has an eternity to be each electron field, neutron (slowed form of neutral (balanced) energy, and proton (alternate energy field from that of an electron) of every atom, of every molecule, of every massive body including living and non-living form on earth, of the earth, of every star and every galaxy in the universe, and still it would not be able to exist in the same space (our perspective) as itself, therefore the universe is observed to be expanding. It's all an illusion, an "image". As God truly said, we were created and put into the image that was created. In the gospel of John it is said that God is the light of the world. More specifically in the Quran, it is said again God is light, and it is also specifically stated this world (universe) is an illusion. Because we observe energy states to be quantized at discreet levels rather than continuous, it is logical to assume there exists something else between the discreet levels we observe. This simply means there are likely other universes existing simultaneously with ours, and we do not observe them because they would exist just ahead or behind us in time.

Answer 10

Nobody did, it's a part of the space-time structure.

Answer 11

Noone. It happened through science.
