Defining Time: What Does Science Say?

[Danger]

The best definition that I ever saw was from an incredibly wise writer. (I think that it might have been Douglas Adams, but I'm not sure.)

Time is Nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

This might seem lika a dumb definition of time and space at first, but it is still remarkable that such a simple operational definition is what underlies the whole complexity of special and general relativity.

Agreed. Nice post Dali.
