One hour per hour...

Well, my friends and I actually discussed about this issue and we all agreed on the following:

1) If the universe is expanding non-uniformly, different parts of the universe will have different time speeds.

2) The centre of the universe, which is not expanding, will have no experience of time. Nothing should exist at that point as time will stall there infinitely. We also believe that matter and energy sprouts from there. These matter and energy are channeled from black holes all over the universe.

3) We won't say that there is a definite "speed of time", but we can compare the "speed of time" of one sector of the universe relative to another.

Ya... What I'm saying may seem as pure speculation, and you're right, it is.

What a wonderful question this is! Would there be such a thing as time were there no such thing as thought? We think about time, as you are doing, using language and meaning. Is time language and meaning? Time is a word, and it has a definition, so it must be language and meaning. But what, when we speak about it, do we mean by time? Is time the distance between objects, measured by our thoughts, as we traverse those spaces. Me thinks so. So what is the speed of thought, and what determines how we measure time while thinking? Is it just the simple ticks of the time piece you are wearing, and how often you look to see what time it is? And what decides how often you decide to look at your watch but your thoughts? So it would all seem to point to consciousness, and how we perceive our daily existence.
My answer is, simply, that the speed of time is the speed and quality of attention that we pay to our ongoing thought processes. Whew!

The speed or velocity of time depends on the matter figured at hand. This is because time is composed of 3 whole things which are 1. Past, 2. Present, and the 3. Future. If theres no "matter' involve what is the use of it? We are just beating in the air.
The Bible said: "One day in the Lord is a thousand years in man, and one thousand years in man is one day in the Lord."

Just as guru said, time is a system of measure.

However, we can say that we have speed on time, just as we can have a speed of space movement, all we got to do is to compare it to another dimension, instead of comparing movement to time, as our friend said in the beginning. The only difference is that when moving in time we are in constant speed, for we live in 3 dimensional world, and move only forward in time.

The term "speed" means "distance through space by an object within a given time".

Time is not an object. More importantly time does not move through space, rather space moves through time.

Just because you can pose the question doesn't mean it makes any sense.

Same as the speed of thought.

If you have a single ocean what is the speed of ocean?

TIME is unique.Where will it go to measure its speed.It remains same ...past,present and future are all present at a time in TIME.
Events happen ,and we measure those events and imaginatively say that it happened first and this happened after, and say this much time elapsed.You moved,not the time,
so there is no speed to time.

3 Lindsay Lohan rehabilitation sessions per week. If things keep going the way they are going, time might speed up.

Unlike the speed of light, time is not objective. As one approaches the speed of light, time slows down.

Apart from that, speed is a measure of distance over time...time cannot be measured in relation to itself.

Time is a system of measurement. There is no velocity involved. Just as it would seem odd to ask "what is the speed of an inch or a yard?"
