TIME. By: Jordan Neil Louie February 15, 2006 Time is an indicative concept; it is constant, and never changing, but only within its own nature. By very nature, the quintessence of time, or the very simplest nature of time, is only a tool of measurement. Time is indicative in the way that it indicates considerable amounts of events. It is neither tangible nor feasibly grasped. By dictionary definition, the word "time" means, "A non-spatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future." It states that time is in fact a "non-spatial" continuum, which means it does not take in any law other than its own, it is not an object which can be seen nor held in your hand. Non-spatial in the way that you cannot test it in theory neither can you test in it practice. It also states in the definition that time is "irreversible" meaning that you connot apply time to anything that will try to reverse it or alter it in anyway. Time puts things in order, order from first to last, order from old to new, order of events from past to present to future. A period where "time" elapses is where events fall into place, once an event occurs it then stands still in that segment of "time". Now the concept in which we measure time is in fractions of a seconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, semi-decades, decades, centuries, millenniums. Same as the way humans choose to measure lengths; height, width, and depth, however "length" is both tangible and feasibly grasped, In attempt to alter time, or change the way it continues is not something feasible in itself, time is constant and does not depend on any one thing that is either seen nor heard, nor smelt, nor touched. In achieving the understanding of "time" is rather illusive, and mysterious, however the "study" of time, can be bother tangible and feasible, meaning that evidence that an event had occurred can indicate time. Things that can be seen and heard and smelt and touched all can indicate time. Time elapses all together, weather or not something is seen, or heard, or smelt, or touched, it is a matter that involves "waiting", it is a matter not wasteful by itself or to itself, but can only be missed, it cannot be wasted as in the phrase, "wasting time" for it is not tangible, therefore cannot be disposed of. Time is only a concept that allows the brain to relate events to one another, time is not subject to events, but rather the events are subject to the time in which they occur. In conclusion the quintessence of time is 100 percent infinitive, meaning that you cannot change it nor the things or events that stand in it. As I conclude with this a most general statement, "what is done is done" you connot change time, you cannot even hope to posses these things in which time itself is not possible to be possessed. It is foolishness to try and grasp the idea or concept of time, foolishness to try and grasp something so great and so immensely above human comprehension, as it is foolishness to believe that an ant may ever comprehend thoughts of a human being. Time in itself can never be changed nor destroyed, it can never be subject to being tampered with.
