Time

Down, very deep in us exists a natural feeling of Duration, a sensation for the length of the altered natural cycles and occurrences, something that aligns us with the universe, the world we live in.

From ancient time on humans are aiming, by observation of the natural events, to structure, shape and therefore organize natural proceedings. To determine by exact date the beginning and end of natural happenings as for instance spring or autumn or to forsake natural phenomena.

The history of time measuring begins with human himself.

In nature, time doesn’t exist, cycles of awakening, of beginning, of growing, of proceeding and passing away, of ending, determine natural events, normal ordinary happenings. These cycles follow the natural rules of our universe.  

Over the shadow staff using the course of the sun in the sky, the water watch, the sand watch, burning down candles and so on, we came to the mechanic watch. With each invention, with each new improvement, we have created the possibilities to measure more precisely down the duration of happenings, to break down events in even more smaller periods and therefore, we assume, it helps to structure, calculate and organize life in a more efficient and predictable way.

Thus, one can say:
Time is that what clocks measure.

Time shows us the past measurable
period of a process, of an action.
Time measures motion.

We measure Quantities, a certain, usually specified, amount or number of something.

Time is nothing what one can see, touch or taste but one can measure it.

What do we get out of measuring time?
We receive through the procedure of time measurement and organisation data of happenings that already past, information of events that belong to our individual or cultural history.

By time measurements we are also able to form and plan life events that will happen tomorrow, of happenings of our future, structured and organized down in years, month, weeks, days, hours and seconds.
The art of Time measurement helps us to pictures the past and the future.
And it doesn’t stop, our relation to time is always changing.

Before Einstein time was something constant, absolute and universal
But after its discoveries we know now that time is relative.
