Time is life. If you going to an interview at 8.30 but you cant reach that time. you lose great opportunity. so any where don't waste your time forever. Time is money...

Personally I think Time is a very subjective matter. Mankind has always thought that we can keep time in check but I think what mankind has done is create clocks that tell time in their own perspective. Have you ever thought about why a second is a second and an hour is 60 minutes. All these are just guidelines that man ourselves have put into place to keep time in check so that we can base our lives on it. We are very much restricted by "TIME" and so a better way in my opinion to define "TIME" is by quality of time.
Example 01:
You're doing something mundane and boring, the 30 minutes to the end of work never comes.
Example 02:
You're having fun with the stuff you're doing and before you know it, 30 minutes is up.
I believe everyone has been through that definitely in your lives. Therefore in my opinion, time is defined by the quality of experience that the user is going through and has been put through.
Well, sounded like an essay doesnt it hahahaha

I'm always thinking about time.. how little of it there is and how long it can sometimes seem to us. But if you think about it, in terms of the Universe and how long things took to even form and be made.. we are but a spec. Our lives basically happen in less than a blink of the universe's eye. Compared to the amount of time in the universe, the entire existence of humanity -- from the dawn of man till now -- isn't even a thought to the universe. We are nothing. We have always been nothing. And that's all we will be. It sounds insane, but if we could somehow go over the records of the universe -- of everything that was ever created, it almost doesn't even matter. Life seems but an accident. And that's all it ever is and was. Time only means something to us because we are so limited. But to something that never ends or to something that seems like it goes on forever, time is nothing.

Our struggle to comprehend time and all of it's components can be attributed in part to the present development of the human brain. I suspect the human brain is still capable of much more than it is now, and will continue to evolve. In addition our language also restricts our ability to understand what we observe. We can only define what we can put into words, or perhaps more accurately, we cannot define very much more than what we can manage to put into words. I am aware some people are capable of relaying information through music. But not being so inclined myself, I cannot comment on it's limitations or lack thereof. Math seems to be the most comprehensive way we can define the most complicated of things. But still, our understanding is limited to our ability to employ math. We have yet to discover all of which math has to offer. So, we have yet to be able to comprehend all of which we can observe or imagine.
The restriction of language I can only poorly attempt to explain with the following example. And this may be a weak example, but it's the best I can do..... " This time I will be able to explain time to you without having a hard time of it. "
I have used the word 'time' three different times, ( heh, 4? ) and each time ( argh ), and each instance of it's usage has a different meaning, but identical spelling and pronunciation. I can attempt to reiterate the above sentence without using the word 'time' redundantly, but approach the present limits of my particular brain.... " This attempt I will be able to explain 'Time' without having a difficult instance of it ". Now that is poor grammer. Not my strong point. Let me clean that up a bit. " At this particular moment I will be able to explain to you the definition of 'time' without difficulty.... Alright, I was better able to communicate my meaning by employing a greater command of my language. But I hope I have illustrated my point. We are restricted to understand and define to ourselves and others what we observe and imagine by the complexity of communicative processes.
All of that being said, I originally thought that time really didn't exist. And it may still not, my comprehesion of it is tentative at best. We use days, months, and years relative to us only on Earth in this solar system as a unit of measurment of the passage of 'time'. And it is not a concrete thing, like a 'concrete' noun. It is more of an abstract thing, exactly like an 'abstract' noun. It has no substance to itself, it really doesn't exist. Confusing and contradictory. I know. Like I said, the limits of the human brain, ( mine specifically ) and that of my adeptness with my chosen form of communication. Which is written English.
But I struggle at all times ( again with that word, there is no avoiding it! ) as I expect we all do in all things to put it, or imagine it, and everything we contemplate, much more simply. Building from my very rudimentary understanding that velocity and distance effects ( affects? ) our measurment of the passage of time. I think time is nothing more than a unit of measurment itself, that defines the relationship between velocity and distance. Now I suspect I'm missing something here. Matter. I think I have left matter out of the equation.
Time is the unit of measurment used to define the relationship between the velocity of matter over distance.?.... It has no beginning nor and end, no more than a 'pound' does as a unit of measurment to define gravity. Where does a pound begin?, where does a pound end?. Doesn't make sense, because it isn't effectively applicable. So you can't apply a begining or an end to time,any more than you can say a pound starts at 1 oz, or 1 gram, or 1 nanogram, or an even smaller measurment until we enter a new discusion about how long you can split something in half, and then half again, and in half once more, and half of that. Though a pound clearly has an end. Perhaps I'm completely wrong, or perhaps that is just a bad example. But that's the extent of my ability to explain my undertanding of Time, at this time. ':-)
