Something that literally passes you by, hardly ever waves or expresses any form of amiable communication, and more often than not mocks you from its set place in history saying such things as, "Remember when..?" and, "You can't change me," and (most depressing of all), "Ain't is a shame that you took me for granted?"
"Man, I remember this one time..."
"I just wish I could go back and change that time in my life when..."
"I wish I could have appreciated it when..."
Time is an absolute truth regardless of the state of existence so long as it is not the foreverend. In the physical universe there need be motion of any kind for time to have something to be relative to. Time travel can not exist in the popular sense. One can travel forward in time while seemingly no time passes for the traveler, but this is an illusion caused by being in some kind of stasis. True travel back in time can not occur.
This is not to say that instantaneous or near-instantaneous travel is impossible, just that such theories may not come into conflict with time's law.
An abstract concept used to describe the linear passaage of events obsesrvable in three dimensions. The "classical" three dimensions (length, width, height) are spatial, whereas time is temporal. Time cannot be directly observed, only quantified in terms of seconds, minutes, hours, etc. Time itself is impossible to accurately illustrate in our 3-D world, but is most often represented as a line, moving in one direction at a constant rate.
