I would like to begin a discussion group that would worktowards a better understanding of the essence of time. I feel that a generallack of a thorough understanding of time is the root cause of erroneous concepts.So I will start with an attempt to write a definition of time and use it toexplore its essence.
Time is the measurement that quantifies the transition period between theoccurrences of events. It can be used to identify the occurrence of a specificevent among the occurrence of other events. Time marks the distinct occurrenceof an event.
Time is a measurement that can be used to quantify the transition period fromone event to another. Time strings together all events in the sequence of theiroccurrence; for an observation of time to be valid, the sequence of events mustrepresent the sequence of their occurrence.
Time is the essence of existence. There is no beginning of time; there is noend of time. There is only a continuous flow of time; from beyond the beginningto beyond the end.
When an event occurs in time it is locked in the sequence of its occurrence. Itcannot take place before or after that point in time. It is maintained in its sequence ofoccurrence through eternity.
For an observation of a time related even to be true it must be held in its sequence of occurrence.
