what is brief definition  of Time?

A DIMENSION is a measurement of location. So, just like in high school algebra, you can find anything on a graph or map if you're given its three dimensional coordinates (X, Y, Z).\n\nOnly one thing can occupy a set of coordinates at a time. For example, I'm sitting in a chair in front of my desk. It would be IMPOSSIBLE for someone else to be sitting in this chair as well. Someone could be sitting on my lap, I suppose, but then he (or she) would be higher off the ground - different Z coordinates.\n\nLet's say there's buried treasure one mile north of you, two miles west, and ten feet underground. You trek out, dig down, and instead of treasure you find ... dirt! Why?\n\nBecause in addition to the X,Y, and Z coordinates, you need to know a coordinate in time (T). Yes, 100 years ago there was treasure buried at location X,Y,Z, but unless you get the T coordinate right, too, it doesn't do you any good.\n\nIn just the same way, there can't be someone sitting in my chair (same X,Y,Z) unless we're not both occuppying it at the same FOURTH DIMENSIONAL LOCATION (time or T).

Hi. The first three are physical, the fourth is temporal, the rest are mathematical. We think of the fourth as time, but it really is not. Time, when you get down to it, is an infinite series of 'moments', not to be confused with seconds, years, picoseconds, etc. Humans tend to measure the passing of time in rather coarse terms. If you could see time then objects would be stretched out. A human, for instance, would look like a very long worm tapering from very small (an egg) to adult size to bones, which would last the longest.

Time is currently one of the few fundamental quantities. These are quantities which can not be defined via other quantities because there is nothing more fundamental known at present. Thus, similar to definition of other fundamental quantities (like space and mass), time is defined via measurement. Currently, the standard time interval (called conventional second, or simply second) is defined as 9 192 631 770 oscillations of a hyperfine transition in the 133caesium (Cs) atom.\n\nThis definition of time coupled to the current definition of space in physics makes our space-time to be Minkowski space-time - and thus makes special relativity absolutely correct simply by definition.\n\nPrior to Albert Einstein's relativistic physics, time and space had been treated as distinct dimensions; Einstein linked time and space into spacetime. He said that time was basically what a clock reads; the clock can be any action or change, like the movement of the sun. Einstein showed that people traveling at different speeds will measure different times for events and different distances between objects, though these differences are minute unless one is traveling at a speed close to that of light. Many subatomic particles exist for only a fixed fraction of a second in a lab relatively at rest, but some that travel close to the speed of light can be measured to travel further and survive longer than expected (a muon is one example). According to the special theory of relativity, in the high-speed particle's frame of reference, it exists for the same amount of time as usual, and the distance it travels in that time is what would be expected for that velocity. Relative to a frame of reference at rest, time seems to "slow down" for the particle. Relative to the high-speed particle, distances seems to shorten. Even in Newtonian terms time may be considered the fourth dimension of motion; but Einstein showed how both temporal and spatial dimensions can be altered (or "warped") by high-speed motion.\n\nEinstein (The Meaning Of Relativity): "Two events taking place at the points A and B of a system K are simultaneous if they appear at the same instant when observed from the middle point, M, of the interval AB. Time is then defined as the ensemble of the indications of similar clocks, at rest relatively to K, which register the same simultaneously."

short and long is not important\njust tell me howmany times can you do it baby?

time is only a relative measure to measure the duration of occarances and relate them....so it is we who define it

1 minute sounds about right.\n\na couple of moments is definately under 5 minutes.

Usually, seconds.\n\nSometimes, days.\n\nOccasionally, never.

Time refers only here on Earth. Where there is 24 hours in a day. In space, time does not exist. If you travel millions of light years away and then come back, you'll find out that people you know are way older than the last time you saw them.

Time is, therefore we measure it.  So it is natural,  Humans quantify it.  \n\nIt is a funny thing.  Time to us is a way that we can judge when an object reaches it's destination.  In sports, we think of the amazing athletes that "see things just a bit quicker" than the rest of us.  (All hail Wayne Gretzky!)  In law enforcement it is a measure to inflict speeding tickets.  All of these facets of time are quantified by human measures.  However time exists regardless of the existence of humans.

Time is duration between events.\nExample duration from noon to noon is a day = 24 hours.\nTime is also defined as event itself.\nExample : What time is now. It's 12 oclock noon\nI would say It is a measurement rather than thing to be measured.

Space time is the total of all demsions.  They as you may know are height, length, depth, and time.  Time is the fouth demsions because things take time to move.  However time an dspace are theorized to be somehow related.  In this case they would have similar measuremants becuase of that relation.  We can't truly define time, or space.  Space could be infinite and that the universe just sits in it.  Time could also be inifite and yet everything we know as time could just be an event in it.  Humans set a try finite number to infinity sometimes, hence it's given the name the name the "limit".  There's always more to find in this vast, endless world of ours, but all those things will definitely not be found in our liftime.  Maybe, if you believe in this, we'll see the human race find the answers while the rest of us are in heaven.

Time is a concept created to aide in human understanding.  As is emotion. However, The Bible, Quran, and Talmud, which are the three main sources for monotheistic religions, all mention times when God was described as being angered and saddened.\nAs I said before, I believe God exists outside of time, but if you wish to limit Him to human terms, I'd say there are 8+ billion people on this planet, chances are there are about 40 prayers being directed towards heaven every minute,  If time exists in heaven, God doesnt have any to spare.

Period of time = range of time, meaning between two specific time periods. e.g. Jan to Dec 2006\n\nPoint of time = specific. e.g. Jan 2006
