What is 'time' ?

Question

Okay, What I'm trying to ask is when a second is passed there's all these mili seconds and since the numbers are continous, there can be no 'another second' at all.
What is
'time' ?
the 'centuries'?
the 'years'?
the 'months'?
the 'weeks;?
the 'days'?
'hours'?
'minutes'?
'seconds'?
(and so on.)

Does all of that 'really' exists?

Answer 1

"Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so."

Answer 2

Time is a quantum entity that orchestrates the evolution of the universe.
Each entity in the universe is isolated by time.
When you look around you are looking back in time.
A person in the same room with you is an image of them billionths of a second before.
Each has a time zero,the person would be seeing you also billionths of a second in the past.
The universe injects a sort of holographic factor that lets you interact as if no isolation exists.

Answer 3

when you go faster, time and space kind of warp. this is confusing but when you go really really really fast, space shrinks and time goes slower.

picture youself in a rocket thats not moving at all. you have a ruler in your hand and you measure the height of the rocket from the floor to the roof, its 10ft, then all of a sudden the rocket goes 20,000 miles an hour, going at this speed the rocket will begin to shrink and time will slow down (einstein figured this out using some kind of giant math problem) but if you stand up and measure the height of the rocket from floor to roof, it will still be 10ft, this is because the ruler will shrink the same amount that the rocket will, and so will your eyes and you and your brain. so you will actually not even notice any changes, but if someone was watching from the ground and you came wizzing by them in your rocket, they will see a much smaller rocket. thats because they would be outside the rocket and wouldnt be moving.

now the same thing will happen with time (since time and space are relative) and so time will slow down so seconds will take much longer and minutes would take much longer and so on. but you wont notice this because everything around you is taking longer too,

so say it would take like 2 seconds to clap your hands twice while the rocket wasnt moving, after it started moving and time got slower, then the 2 seconds would actually take much longer, but since everything else will take much longer, it would still take two seconds to clap. but if someone on the ground got like a pair of binoculars and watched you clap twice, it would take like 10 seconds for you to do that. cause hes not moving so the time warp isnt affecting him

so so pretty much time and space are relative, theirs no such thing as seconds or minutes and no such thing as feet or miles. because space and time arent always exactly the same, and the intervals of seconds and lengths of feet are always different, but they apear to be the same amount of time and the same amount of space because your eyes and brain and everything around you have changed the same amount as the foot and second

okay i really hope i answered this question for you but if you have no idea what im talking about just look up einsteins theory of relativity on google, it will explain pretty much what i explained but in more detail

Answer 4

Time is something that man invented. There is no such thing as time. If you could talk to an animal and ask it what time it was it might reply like this. Time, what times is it? I suppose the time is now. What a crazy question.

Answer 5

It is the fourth dimension and our entire three dimensional world moves along the time axis and the unit of movement is the unit of time i.e: centuries, years, months etc,

Answer 6

time is the thing that stops everything from happening all at once. time might not be continuous - perhaps it's quantised (as matter and energy are) at around the planck time. however,any effects due to this possible quantisation are far outside our current ability to measure since the planck time is so small.

Answer 7

time is the thing that stops everything from happening all at once. time might not be continuous - perhaps it's quantized (as matter and energy are) at around the Planck time.
