What is time?

It may be an illusion, but my body certainly shows the effects of it.

Time is a measurement. It exists in the same way that meters do – as a human concept.

Something I wish I had more of…

Time is the measure of sequence.

It keeps birth before death, and peeing after drinking, rather than the other way ‘round.

The application of an illusory fluidity to the seriality of existence.

Or do I have it backwards?

I think you mean when.

Time is a component of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects. Love love love wikipedia!

It’s about 12:30

A magazine.

Time is a coordinate system to describe the location of an event in terms of a sequence of events. It is the coordinate that allows change and the progression of the state of things. At its most fundamental level it is indistinguishable from spatial coordinates, but experientially it takes a form that we cannot control as easily.

It’s an herb frequently used in cooking.

Oh. I thought you meant thyme.

the cosmologist Tegmark says about time,
“If life were a movie, physical reality would be the entire DVD: Future and past frames exist just as much as the present one.”

We describe it in many ways: too slow, too fast, not enough of, too much of it on our hands, good, bad, wasted, precious, and daylight saved… but it’s an allusion.

Something you see on a clock.

It is best explained by Dr. Stephen Hawking in his book, “A Brief History of Time”
It is written for literate non-scientists and is well worth your “time” and effort.

@Dr_Lawrence
indeed i have read it
I have a good idea of what time is or rather what it isnt
i was hoping for a strange, artistic, philosophic, different kind of answer

Time was created by Human Kind to organize life . We are all as young or old as we feel.

It’s a filing system for events, so they don’t end up all stacked together on the top of your brain.
