    How does time work?

    • From the beginning of the universe to the present day, time is one of the few things we regard as regular and unchanging. Time works by measuring periods between the past, present and future. But that's a simple, albeit vague answer to an incredibly complex topic. Time is all around us and is the basis of how we record life on Earth.

    How do physicists define time?

    • Physicists define time as the progression of events from the past to the present into the future. Basically, if a system is unchanging, it is timeless. Time can be considered to be the fourth dimension of reality, used to describe events in three-dimensional space. It is not something we can see, touch, or taste, but we can measure its passage.

Is time relative?
