  People say time passes. You have probably heard this all your life. I understand the thought but disagree with the premise.   Yes, from a strictly literal sense time passes or goes by. In a more precise sense, I think time does much more. Time is not a passive thing that is gone in an instant. Time cannot pass. This instant is gone, and another follows.   Time alters. Time destroys. Time is boring. Time also can build. Time can entertain. Time is smells. Time is sights. Time is tastes. Time is sounds. Time is anticipation. Time is participation. Time is dreams and time is memories.   Time does not pass. Time was. Time will be. Time IS.                                                  ...

In physics, time is a fundamental quantity - a variable to be plugged into an equation or to affect another physical measurement. In quantum physics, time as we know and measure it has been shown not to exist. (see "double slit experiment", if you care to study this - then there is the interpolation of that experiment on light over deep-space distances - but I digress) This post is going to be confined to our traditional understanding and definition of time. I read something years ago about time that was one of those things that stuck with me and affected my thinking ever since. It went something like this: Time is the ONLY thing that is totally equal for everyone. Rich or poor, tall or short, happy or sad; we all have the same amount of time - 24 hours a day, 60 minutes an hour, 60 seconds a minute....
