What time is it?

[Mpsipos3]

A couple weeks ago, I watched a show on the Science Channel about time. No, it wasn't Michio Kaku's "Time" series. It was a show, hosted by English Theoretical Physicist, Brian Cox, called, "Do you know what time it is?". It was a good show in-depth but not so much you had to pause it every minute. It talked about Einstein's Theory of Relativity and how it did not work with Quantum Theory. It talked about M-Theory and String Theory and the Theory of Everything, and how it combined Einstein's theories and Quantum Theory. He also talked about what happened at the start of the universe. Did time exist before the big bang? But, in the end, what is time? I don't know. Do you? The next time someone asks you, "What time is it?", say, "What is Time?" So, today, I ask you, what is time???:)

A timely question.

Well, I just call it a man made unit of measure. When you are late to an engagement and are questioned, you answer with "what is time?" works every time!:) But my all time favorite is when you are asked"how old are you?" My female-made unit of measure is always at least 10 years younger, of course, it helps that i dont look or for that matter, act my age;)
