What Really Is Time?



Time is an emergent concept. There is a real phenomenon a continuous change through which we live. To understand time we have to
understand the mechanism which brings about this continuous change from which our mind creates the illusion of flow of time.

Time becomes evident through motion and is measured by comparison with other motions. Sunrise sunsets, night and day, the changing
seasons, the movement of the celestial bodies are all indicative of continuous change.  The aging process is a reminder that molecular
motion and interactions are also at work and are a part of time. Other very important aspect of time is presence of motion of particles like
photon and motion at atomic level.
