The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to time:
Time – indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future. [1] [2] Time is a component quantity of various measurements used to sequence events, to compare the duration of events or the intervals between them, and to quantify rates of change of quantities in material reality or in the conscious experience. [3] [4] Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions. [5]
What type of thing is time?
Time can be described as all of the following:
Time in history
General time concepts
- Arrow of time
- Chronology
- Chronon
- Orders of magnitude
- Spacetime
- Time dilation
- Time in physics
- Time standard
Time management
Measuring and keeping track of time
Perception of time
Philosophy of time
Time in religion
Time travel
Time organizations
Time publications
Persons influential in time
