TIME Time is a condition-dependent concept which is used to measure a deviation or departure (other than a dimension of distance) from an original state. Take, for example, an object, immobile, isolated in space. Experiencing no internal activity and subject to no external influence. For this object, time does not exist. The instant physical movement occurs (measurable, away from an original physical position for any reason), time originates. The clock begins to run. Collision with an object impacting it would, for example, be a good example.
