Time mini "Mini series" Part 1: Defining the standards




Ahhh…TIME. Your greatest friend or your worst enemy. The clock either works for you or against you. It is the only elements in this life that moves continuously. NOTHING stops time! The conceptual framework was debated for thousands of years by philosophers and cosmologists.

Time is such a perplexing theme in cosmology that I’m featuring a mini mini series about it. This is part 1 and based on our universal laws- you will be guaranteed to see a 2, 3 and 4 as well.

Time, by formal definition is a component of the measuring system used to sequence events, to compare the durations of events and the intervals between them, and to quantify the motions of objects.
Time keeping is so critical to the functioning of modern societies that it is coordinated at an international level. The basis for scientific time is a continuous count of seconds based on atomic clocks around the world, known as the International Atomic Time IAT. These clocks are related to electromagnetism and emissions of the atoms when their internal components change energy levels.

Maybe you’ve heard the term “Real time”?
Real time is actually a description technique in which the events depicted take place entirely within the span of the depiction, and at the same rate, regardless of external factors.
IE…if you’re in France and on Facebook chat and I’m in America on FB chat- we’re talking in real time. Never mind the fact that we are located in 2 different time zones with drastic differences in times of day. We are indeed, virtually in the same place at the same time.
