How many times did we ask ourselves: “What time is it?” How many of us can answer this question?
Time is one of the fundamental concepts of physics and philosophy. It is a measure of the duration of events and has different meanings depending on the context in which it is defined.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin. – Mother Teresa
In physics, time is a dimension of nature and can be seen as a measure of change. In terms of classical physics, time is a continuous one. Modern physics (more precisely quantum mechanics theory) disputes this quality, suggesting that there is only a continuous space-time.
In philosophy, time is defined as an uninterrupted, irreversible flow that can only flow in one direction. It is, therefore, a “continuous” event in which facts follow from past and the present into the future. Defining time accurately is a difficult task both in philosophy and in science.
Traditionally, time is seen as measuring the distance between events. It is composed of past, present and future. The past is considered as something that has already happened and can not be changed. The future, on the other hand, is considered as being available for a multitude of possibilities.
Time is a created thing. To say ‘I don’t have time’ is like saying, ‘I don’t want to. – Lao Tzu
Traditionally, time is seen as measuring the distance between events. It is composed of past, present and future. The past is considered as something that has already happened and can not be changed. The future, on the other hand, is considered as being available for a multitude of possibilities. People measure time using many units, some based on real events (rotation of the Earth, around the Sun), others are arbitrary. The classical description of Isaac Newton's "Principia" is that time is constantly "flowing", as is the case for all. That is, it is independent of the events taking place within it. This description of time was eliminated by Einstein and his theory.
The classic idea of time is biased because of the way people perceive the "passage" of time. We are aware of the events from a personal point of view and we assume that it is everywhere. The classic approach of time does not explain why we perceive time in this way, nor how this effect is gained. The other theories about the nature of time call into question the "roots" of this natural viewpoint.
The impact of time on human nature is great because its absence would have caused total disorder in people's lives. They would not be tired of organizing their activities knowing that there was nothing to press them.
Until the beginning of the twentieth century, most people considered that the time is a universal element that manifests itself the same way anywhere and for anyone. Albert Einstein was the one who radically changed the perspective of time, explaining that it is relative, not absolute, as Isaac Newton claimed. The experience of time is purely subjective, with every man perceiving it according to the speed with which he journeys through space and distance from a gravitational field (the further the clock is far from the source of gravity, the faster the time passes, the time flows faster on Everest than on the seashore).
Even though the world of physics has accepted from the beginning of the twentieth century the transition from the Newtonian perspective on time to that of Einstein, the reasons why time is perceived differently by each of us has not been studied in detail until the last few years. Today, specialists in neuroscience and psychology understand better than ever how people perceive the time and consequences this has on human reality.
