Does anybody really know what time it is? A meditation on the mystery of time.

I have thought how difficult time would have been to comprehend, or even establish, if the Earth itself (and the entire Solar System - and beyond) were not in motion, both elliptically around the Sun and throughout the cosmos.

Think of how troublesome it would be to conjure up a scale of time if our entire interstellar existence were static, somewhat like living beings at deepest depths of the oceans experience.

It’s Howdy Duty Time!

Happy New Year

Think about how one's experience of time has changed over a lifetime. I can recall being very young and time nearly stood still. Being made to wait an hour, a day, a week for anything was an eternity.

I remember completing the 8th grade and thinking with actual despair, "Those last 8 years took forever, and I've got another 8 years of school ahead of me!" When it was all over, high school and college were a blur.

I won't comment on the years since as it's too depressing. Let's just say, when the end comes it'll seem way too soon.

At the sound of the tone the time will be....

"It is accurate to say, then, that time is the measurement we employ to record motion."

That is where St. Augustine ended up and then he acknowledged that even if everyone were blind and nobody could observe motion, time would still exist. He ended up concluding that we can measure time but we can't actually define it. He said time is the moving face of eternity. He has never been proven wrong.

Or you can use Meinberg time synchronization. It'll keep your computer clock accurate to <10ms continuously (or to the µs if you buy a GPS receiver)

My favorite quote about time:

Ecclesiastes, chapter 3

 

Scripture not found.

Please check the reference to make sure it is correct.

CHAPTER 3

No One Can Determine the Right Time To Act

1^* There is an appointed time for everything,

and a time for every affair under the heavens.

2A time to give birth, and a time to die;

a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant.

3A time to kill, and a time to heal;

a time to tear down, and a time to build.

4A time to weep, and a time to laugh;

a time to mourn, and a time to dance.

5A time to scatter stones, and a time to gather them;

a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embraces.

6A time to seek, and a time to lose;

a time to keep, and a time to cast away.

7A time to rend, and a time to sew;

a time to be silent, and a time to speak.

8A time to love, and a time to hate;

a time of war, and a time of peace.

Does anybody really know what time it is?

Twenty-five or -six to four.

It sounds like angel's music, celestial with full harmony and bass parts, It's like a sweeping chorus of heaven.

I'll never kill a bug again!
