WHAT IS TIME?
"Does anyone really know what time it is," asks a song, lyrically.
Time. "What is time" may be asked as well, before answering the prior question. Most would say that a clock or a calendar is time . These tools tell us time in current human cultures . They are not time, itself.
What is time?
The stars, the galaxies? The sun? The moon? The tides? Is time rain? Seasons? Day or night. Life-death?
All of these occur in time, on time, being but flickering tiny aspects of time. But none necessarily denote time, itself . Why? Because they are defined by time; exist inside time.
Time precedes conception, much less perception, by man; for man is but another incident of time in time.
What then is time? Rather, what is that force, that phenomenon, that is defined as being time, by itself?
Maybe we should just call it "God."
