Is time an object?

Answer 1

No, time is the number of ticks of the clock

observing motion through space creates our concept of time

time is the ratio of two vectors which makes it a scalar

If everything in the universe was the same temperature, a thermometer would never move, so our concept of temperature wouldn't exist,
same thing for time, if everything in the universe stood still, a stop watch wouldn't move, so our concept of time wouldn't exist

the definition of time in physics is in terms of motion and space as it should be
1 second is the time it takes light to travel 1 metre

Answer 2

Definitions of object on the Web:

a tangible and visible entity; an entity that can cast a shadow; "it was full of rackets, balls and other objects"

By this definition, time is not an object.

There are two distinct views on the meaning of the word time.

One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence, and time itself is something that can be measured. This is the realist's view, to which Sir Isaac Newton subscribed, and hence is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.

An opposing view is that time is part of the fundamental human intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare the motions of objects. In this second view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows", that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the measuring system used by humans.

In physics, time and space are considered fundamental quantities (i.e. they cannot be defined in terms of other quantities because other quantities – such as velocity, force, energy, etc – are already defined in terms of them). Thus the only definition possible is an operational one, in which time is defined by the process of measurement and by the units chosen.

Answer 3

I don't know why people think of time as being the fourth dimension. Time is a dimension all it's own i.e. It is a dimension where events can occur. Actually ours is a half dimension, since it can only go one way, We have 3 other dimensions which are SPACE dimensions that are visible to us. according to mathematics, there are seven more space dimensions which are not available to us (they are curled up). This we know because our equations tell us 10 dimensions were necessary for the big bang to occur. According to Quantum theory, the other seven are curled up like a sheet of paper that is curled up so tightly (and small) that they are not visible. I hope this helps

Answer 4

No, time is not an object. But everything is an object of time

Answer 5

No, time is a property of an event involving objects. Here are some examples of objects and properties so you can see that they are different sorts of identifiers:

Objects: dogs, cats, protons, ocean waves, people

Properties: color, nationality, location, birthday.

Answer 6

as Dane has answered time is not tangible and is not matter so it can't be an object, but it is a parameter,

also it is a dimension used in a so called 4 dimension system.

Answer 7

Mera is close, but time is defined as a period over which events take place. I think that time is a man made thing, he had to invent it in order to to be able to calculate speed and distance of motion. If you would like to hear more about this idea, contact me at

I will attach a five page article with my reply.

Answer 8

It's a concept and therefore intangible.

Like love, the experience of it varies according to emotional and physiological state and is different for everyone.

Measurements of time are markers between different events and can be simple or elaborate but still vary and are ultimately relative to the individual perceiver.

Answer 9

Not really. You can spend time or you can
waste time but you can't see it or feel it.
You can think about it or you can regret not
using it wisely but after it's gone it will not
return.

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till Im free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin, slippin, slippin
