Time

I love the concept of time, I love clocks and everything that has to do with planning down to the second. But do I really know what time is? What is time, and how can it be defined?

These are two pretty important questions since we use time everyday. How many times do you look at your clock? Time can be defined as a dimension in which events can be ordered from the past through the present and into the future. Or at least that is how wiki answers defines it. Time more specifically can be defined as the measure of duration of events and the intervals between them. So what does that mean? Well lets break it down to measuring time, I think that is fairly important!

The 24 hour day is a fundamental starting point for time. A day consist of the obvious period of sunlight followed by night. Our bodies actually rely on the days cycle because we have a cycle specifically through sleep. Each morning we wake up to a new day! We use clocks, one of my favorite things, to divide the day into small increments. We use calenders and planners to help us group these increments together into large and even massive increments.

The measurement of time is broken up into around 25 primary increments. We start out with 1 picosecond, which is one-trillionth of a second. This is about the shortest period of time we can measure. We then move up to 1 nanosecond, a billionth of a second. then 1 microsecond, a millionth of a second. A millisecond, one thousandth of a second. 1 centisecond, one-hundredth of a second. 1 decisencond, one- tenth of a second, which is actually a blink of an eye. To 1 second, the average heart beats 1 second. 1 second soon becomes 60 seconds, which measures to 1 minute. 60 minutes becomes 1 hour, and 8 hours is the typical workday of most Americans. 24 hours, is one day, and the time for planet Earth to rotate one time on its axis. 7 days is one week, and 40 days is the longest a person can survive without food! 365.24 days is one year, and is how long it takes Earth to complete one orbit around the sun. 10 years is a decade, and 75 years is the average life span for a human.  The list goes on and on!

So as you can see time is pretty important, it helps us keep track of pretty much everything!
