If you ask yourself what ‘time’ is, you know it. But if you have to explain it to someone else, you do not know. This is a statement of a philosopher which is already 2000 years old. The simplest modern definition comes from Albert Einstein who said, that time is what a clock shows. This is very pragmatic statement, but one does not know better. The concept of time is trivial: Any periodic system can be used and is used for time measurement.

Abstract


If you ask yourself what ‘time’ is, you know it. But if you have to explain it to someone else, you do not know. This is a statement of a philosopher which is already 2000 years old. The simplest modern definition comes from Albert Einstein who said, that time is what a clock shows. This is very pragmatic statement, but one does not know better. The concept of time is trivial: Any periodic system can be used and is used for time measurement.
