What is time?

I have been asking myself for quite a longtime what is time?.....but I have not got a satisfactory answer....... all the answerd I have got I don't understand them.....time is an interval between two events......time is money......time is the fourth dimension to space.....I would like those with other definitions to bring them.....and those who can help me understand the little I know please do it......I expect I will get the right solution

Time is a personal experience categorised in fixed instant events in space in the form of past,present,and future.it is presently considered unidirectional.

kila mtu anautafsiri muda(time) jinsi anavyouona au jinsi anavyoutumia katika mazingira yake.

Time is time

Time time before time times you!

Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience.

Explain what do u mean by "time is time"

Time is wealthy

Thanks mkuu......what does it mean by saying "Time is the fourth dimension to space"?

It's how you use your being on earth

"time can neither be created nor destroyed...."

Aina gani ya mda

Physical time,biological au psychological time?

In Minikowiski geometry of space-time and Einsteinian relativistic kinematics,space and time aren't distinct entities

They together constitute what we call spacetime continuum

This entails that,a body moving rectilinearly at speed v,is not traversing only in space but also in time

That is,motion through space affect the passage of time

So if it possible,at least in principle,to traverse in time apart from usual spatial dimensions of space

Then time has became,fourth dimension of spacetime

Time,by broad definition,

Is merely an interval between successive physical events in spacetime

If we denote two events in fabric of spacetime as E1 and E2 respectively,then the duration between those events dt,as measured by clock C,

Located in our inertial or accerelated frame of reference is what we call physical time

But physical time is relative,that is,it depends on where you measure it

Specifically,it depends on your frame of reference

The faster your frame of reference goes,the slower time elapses

This relativistic anomaly,is manifested itself in phenomenon known as time dilation
[And is evidenced by decay of muons]

In other hand,Psychological time is just our perception of time

If you put your fingers in a burning candle,second may seems like century

But if you're dating a luscious lady,century may seems like a second

Biological time is intimately linked with rate of biological processess like beating of your heart

Do you believe that time travel one day would be possible even layman can understand?
