Time and causality
Time is a sequence that helps us understand when events occur, usually measured in seconds, minutes, and hours. Causality refers to the relationship between causes and their effects—understanding that one event (the cause) leads to another (the effect). In daily life, we recognize that if we heat water, it boils (cause leads to effect). Together, time and causality guide our understanding of how events unfold in the past, present, and future, enabling us to make predictions and understand the world around us.
