What is time?

5 min readMar 27, 2024

There is more than one way to explain what is time.

Every time I write about time I start from first principles and see where the streaming takes me. There is always something different about how it is done. Because it is not all about knowledge and knowing which are conclusions. It is about what the universe wants to show you when you streaming from a place of knowing. There are baseline Truths that should be known as these are universal facts but leave it to the universe to show the rest. With this the same question at different times is never always the same.

So here goes, and I am not sure how this is going to end.

So, what is time?

Let’s look at this in a common sense way.

First, what is time?

A — — — — — — B

How long does it take to go from A to B?

That is time.

Time is displacement.

In real sense there is no such thing as time.

Like there is gravity.

We know there is gravity as we are stuck on the ground of the planet. Something is holding us down.

But like gravity is real, but time is just a word for a concept we created for the planet going around the Sun 24/7, day and night, 24 hours one circle, 60 seconds 1 minute and then 60 minutes 1 hour. We invented the clock for this — to know what time to get up, when the light is up and go to sleep when the light is out.
