What is time?

Question

Give me your definition of time!

Answer 1

Time will never tell, so I won't.

Answer 2

What is mass?
What is energy?

To me Time exists always but is only relevent when mass/energy is in a system. The change caused by the mass/energy being in the system is what we use to define time but its not what time is. If I had to guess I would say time is the first thing to have ever existed in the void. I think of time as the starting point for a 3 dimensional object you determine what the unit of messurement (object your making a 3 dimensional object with if you will) is. Like say you start by drawing a 3 dimensional object on paper. You start with a paper (void) add a pencil (units of mass/energy) and start adding the art onto the paper. In this case the pencil is your unit of time but in the universe the unit of time is not static and didnt exist before the universe itself.

Take the paper and pencil example... If you draw a dot on a peice of paper it looks like its flat. But if you use some device and zoom in on it far enoth the dot will start to look like a 3D object because of the way the paper has bumps in it and such. Now if you zoom in far enoth you will also notice that this 1 pencil mark is really several marks on the peice of paper each being at the highest point in the groves of the paper where you marked it. And I would guess that if you kept on zooming in you would find that these several marks would turn into thousands of marks. Perhaps this is not so much unlike what happend with our universe.

You have a unit of mass coming into existance at some point in the void. The unit of mass being the largest unit of mass in the universe would instantly be crushed by its own weight. But because of the voids ever expandingness once a unit of mass comes into existance in it then it would have a reference point and start actualy expanding causing the unit of mass's outer shell to be pulled away from its shrinking core. Thus we have the first Single Mass Generator powering the universe.

Answer 3

The experience of a change of state (i.e., movement). Time exist in and only through the ability to delineate a shift in location (i.e., movement) of one "thing" relative to another.

What is a year? The movement of the Earth one time around the sun. All time needs movement because movement is a necessary condition of time. Stop all movement (e.g., the theory of the Big Freeze) and you stop all time.

In brief, time is the unitizing (ie., making units of) of movement (or change in state).

Answer 4

time is the fourth dimension that we exist in...its created by the curveture of by gravity on the three other dimensions that we also inhabit...example the days on mars seem longer and the years as well compared to earth. time is basicllay looked at from your own point of refrence. the most important thing about time is the observer.

Answer 5

time can be worthless to me if i was to wait, time is well used to me if i am doing constructive works, time is forgotten by me when i sleep, time is what i have been chasing after,time is what causes the worry, time is what helps my wound to heal, time is everything more just a clock on the wall or numbers to show you when is the sunset but time cannot erase the harden memories

Answer 6

Time is man made to give us a reference point and able to live our life's, truth is it does not exist.

Answer 7

The soul of space, the illusion that things move from one place to another. There's no time, no space, no move, no things...there's only words, unless...

Good luck!0!

Answer 8

Time is the physical linear representation of being. Ow, my brain hurts.

Answer 9

A four letter word, symbolic to a thought.

Answer 10

A dimension through which motion, communication, and growth occurs.

Answer 11

The imagined measurement of duration.
