here's a challenge for you all. Try to define the idea/concept of 'time' without using the word 'time' in your explanation.... its really hard.... you keep saying things like "time is the time between two points in time".... give it a shot (and try to use lay terms as much as possible, all you science nerds out there).... no using other words that MEAN time, like Chronological.

"the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future, regarded as a whole."
Oxford english dictionary.
The measurement of existence that encompassess the past, the present and the future. And it keeps going.

WITHOUT consulting a dictionary...
An infinite continuum of constant, immutable passage which allows any and all events and existence to transpire so that they are sequentially and absolutely organized into the three possible categories of past, present, and future.

A unit of measurement...it was created by man(at least our point of view of it) cause it was hard to make those business meetings back in the day by looking at the sun on a cloudy day=)

Time:
When you want it to pass quickly, it seems to take forever to come around. When you want more of it, there's none left.
