Time

A Time of Life

What is time?

If the world took 3 years to revolve around the sun, would we age more slowly? If so, that makes me around 30 years old....if only!

I guess what I am asking is - is age and therefore time born from perception and imagination? Are we a mirage in the vast blackness of space? Are we so bound by the law of time, that we simply must age?

We just accept that time moves and that we move with it even though we know that in the vastness of space there is no actual fixed time. Our time is observed by movement - that is, by the earth rotating, creating night and day and rotating around the sun creating seasons. We call this rotation 1 revolution or, 1 year (365.26 days).

This year splits into four sections:June solstice, September equinox, December solstice and March equinox. Without science, animals and humans seem to know when each season arrives using nature and it's signals. (Not including global warming and the distortion of the signals ergo)

This is how we count time - by the movement of our planet, and in relation to the Sun.

So I ask again - what is time?
