Time art - 2- what is time
What is time ?
Time, is a demotion that allows events to be ordered and measured.
Ordering time can be categorised in to past, present and future.
Measuring time can be represented in two ways calendar, a mathematical abstraction for calculating extensive periods of time,and the clock, a physical mechanism that counts the ongoing passage of time.
The most common measurements for time are, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, centuries.
clocks knower days are either digital or anolouge, digital clocks go from 00;00 to 23;59 where as analogue clocks have a 3 hands pointing to the current time of a circle numbered 1-12.
from 3500bc people used to use sun dial to measure time, they used the positon of shadows to say what time of day it was.
around the world there are several different time zones exsist around the world as the sun rizes at diffent times in different places eg if the world had the same timezone midnight in one place would be night but be late after noon to another.
Where did time come from ?
some people say that time was created by humans some say it has always exited. I belive that times its self has allways exsited but the mesument of time was created by humans.
