    Time is passing non-stop, and we follow it with clocks and calendars. Yet we cannot study it with a microscope or experiment with it. And it still keeps passing. We just cannot say what exactly happens when time passes.

    Time is represented through change, such as the circular motion of the moon around the earth. The passing of time is indeed closely connected to the concept of space.“In the theory of relativity, the concept of time begins with the Big Bang (says Kari Enqvist, Professor of Cosmology )

    One of the most peculiar qualities of time is the fact that it is measured by motion and it also becomes evident through motion.

    According to the general theory of relativity, the development of space may result in the collapse of the universe. All matter would shrink into a tiny dot again, which would end the concept of time as we know it.

    “Latest observations, however, do not support the idea of collapse, rather inter-galactic distances grow at a rapid pace

    time is a factor built into our three dimensional world..concepts beyond this are above my present understanding

    but in my opinion is not beyond divine understanding and control !

    Time is an investment of space that has a beginning and an end, and what is measured in between, will vary from one individual to another.

    This was a merchant who sold pills that had been invented to quench thirst. You need only swallow one pill a week, and you would feel no need of anything to drink. "Why are you selling those?" asked the little prince. "Because they save a tremendous amount of time," said the merchant. "Computations have been made by experts. With these pills, you save fifty-three minutes in every week." "And what do I do with those fifty-three minutes?" "Anything you like . . ." "As for me," said the little prince to himself, "if I had fifty-three minutes to spend as I liked, I should walk at my leisure toward a spring of fresh water."
