THE COSMOS AND MAKING: And this is how we measure time

Origins of Time

-Introduction

In a way, Time does not exist. It has no form, no width, no length, and no breadth. It is the imaginings of the human brain to make sense of the sequence of events and therefore in a way, has been around for all eternality.

It is elusive and yet, it happens without people seeing or sensing it. It has been defined as a period or an interval where an event occur, and human beings have therefore created ways to measure time.

-Definition of Time

Time is a period of happenings – a series of occurring events.

“Time is relative” Albert Einstein

Example – Time flies by when you’re having fun. Time moves slowly when doing something boring/? A chore.

Measuring Time

-Modern Era

As we live our lives in our busy world, telling time has become a great importance. Schedules need to be kept and datelines to meet. Time is a valuable asset of our modern era.Example – Making datelines, events, lunchtime, school assembly, bus arrival, performance

Maybe a businessman is meeting his client. The client would not like it if the businessman did not arrive on time. This would usually lead him to lose a potential client, which would in turn, result him in losing his job.

In other words, “Time is Money”
