Time


There are many views on what time is

Some say, it is not real, that it is something man has invented

Others that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence

Time has long been a major subject of science, philosophy, and art

But why get so worked up about it?

Past

Present

Future

Simple as that

It is gone

You live in it now

And don't even think about it

Simple, yet so confusing

There are many names for the measurement of time

Nanosecond 1/1,000,000,000 second

Microsecond 1/1,000,000 second

Millisecond 1/1,000 second

Second

Minute 60 seconds

Hour 60 minutes

Day 24 hours

Week 7 days

Fortnight 14 days or 14 nights

Month 28 to 31 days or 4 weeks

Quarter 3 months

Year 12 months or circa 52 weeks

Common year 365 days

Leap year 366 days

Tropical year 365.24219 days, well average it is

Gregorian year 365.2425 days, or something like that

Olympiad 4 years

Lustrum 5 years

Decade 10 years

Score 20 years

Generation 25 years, if I'm not wrong

Century 100 years

Millennium 1000 years

Confusing to remember all those names

Still, people don't seem satisfied with just past, present and future

Or, in other words

Gone

Live

And dead

As that lazy bastard to Shikamaru would say, "troublesome"

But no need to worry about it

Its just time

Nothing more

Nothing less
