Nature of Time

Time is a continuous dimension in which events occur sequentially—from the past, through the present, to the future. It provides a framework for measuring change, motion, and duration. In physics, especially Einstein's theory of relativity, time is intertwined with space, forming a four-dimensional fabric called spacetime, which can bend and warp due to gravity. Unlike a simple clock ticking uniformly everywhere, time can vary depending on speed and gravity. Ultimately, time is a fundamental aspect of the universe that helps organize our experience and understanding of change and existence.
