What is time anon?

a coordinate axis in spacetime.

The duration of an event

How comes a coordinate axis makes a clock's hands move?

>Bootstrap definition
Time is duration is time

Are you retarded??

time is a man-made concept, like race, gender and iq.

I wish I knew how to tell you why it hurts to know. Are we machines?

After years of thumping my head against the wall, I've come to the opinion that time is an "entropic direction". The "thermodynamic arrow". This seems to satisfy most concerns about it. Time is merely the expression of entropy and as such is just a basic definition of our universe, like the speed of light and causation.

>>7802199
speed / distance

>>7802622
I've never been able to put this into words. Thank you, sincerely, thank you.

all i know, time is a valuable thing
>>
Time is an assigned period emerging from experience, that correlates within a system of discrete assigned variables to show proportion.
>>
>>7802622
a photon propagating doesn't increase entropy.
How does time move if entropy is conserved?
>>
>>7802663
Because time is a function of movement.

Time is a point part of a graph; it is an abstract object and so is multiplicity. You are only aware of one thing at any time even if that thing is a combination
>>
>>7803161
Do you mean one point on the graph? And by combination you mean coordinate? I'm not nitpicking, just befuddled.

It's distance / speed.
