TIME?

TIME: As such the way we perceive time is just human creation. In my opinion neither the time can be assessed nor can be counted.  We created measurable units of time for human understanding and discipline only. You can comprehend this just by looking at the unit of time. Remember that British measurement units are based on multiplication factor(s) of 3. For example, (3x4) 12  inches make a foot, 3 feet make a yard, 1760x3 make a mile. Similarly 360 degrees make a circle. Likewise, 24 hours (again dividable by 3) make an hour.  Each hour can be divide in to 60 units to derive a minute. Again each minute can be divided in to 60 seconds. Hence, the British legacy created a measurable unit of time. But just for human understanding and comprehension.

As such neither we don’t know when time started nor do we know when it would end. Once we don’t know where something start and end we really cannot measure it. Time is possibly the only dynamic constant which can neither be assessed nor be counted.

So far speed of time is concerned, it is just assessed on relative term (i.e. in term of mass). Once something is relative, the measurement/assessment is also relative. Hence, thinking time as an quantifiable object itself is a wrong tenet.
