WHAT IS TIME ?
The greatest mystery of time is the contrast between how familiar time is to us in everyday life and how full of unexplained contradictions it is on the other hand: is it real or just an illusion? Does it run continuously or, like matter, does it ultimately consist of the smallest particles - chronons? Does time always pass evenly, or does it sometimes seem to dally or race? How and why do subjective and objective time sometimes differ? Seen in this way, time is not only a mystery, but even a fascination. Time - what an exciting fact.
HOW DO WE MEET TIME?
Or asked the other way around: how does time show itself to us? It is invisible, inaudible, untouchable but by no means impalpable! We clearly feel its duration when we are waiting in vain, or its shortness when we urgently need its length to prevent being "too late". How differently we encounter time: in physics, the formula "t", in psychology, a factor that underlies many of our actions, in philosophy, a subject that is the subject of intense and conflicting debate, in industry and business, a cost factor that has become expensive, and in of our finite lifetime, the most precious thing we ever own.

HOW DO WE MEASURE TIME ?
Estimates and measurements of time, space (or length) and
Mass (weight) are already very culturally historical
characteristic features of a slowly developing
exchange of goods. Measuring means comparing! Compared
becomes the unknown with something known. Just as we
knew the length of a walking stick with reading or counting
of the ruler graduations, we measure the Duration of an operation with a clock. This does nothing else,
than counting, adding up and displaying the sum of timeUnits (e.g. seconds, minutes, etc.) that have elapsed between the start and end of the process.
