Reading Materials
Time is a dimension in which events can be
ordered from the past through the present into the future,[1][2][3][4][5][6] and also the measure of durations of
events and the intervals between them.[3][7][8] Time has long been a major subject of
study in religion, philosophy,
and science,
but defining it in a manner applicable to all fields without circularity has consistently eluded scholars.[3][7][8][9][10][11] Nevertheless, diverse fields such as
business,industry,
sports, the sciences, music, dance, and the live theater all incorporate some notion of time
into their respective measuring systems.[12][13][14] Some simple, relatively
uncontroversial definitions of time include "time is what clocks
measure"[7][15] and "time is what keeps
everything from happening at once".[16][17][18][19]
Two
contrasting viewpoints on time divide many prominent philosophers. One view is
that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe—adimension independent of events, in which events
occur in sequence. Sir Isaac Newton subscribed to this realist view, and hence it is sometimes
referred to as Newtonian time.[20][21] The opposing view is that time does not refer to any kind of
"container" that events and objects "move through", nor to
any entity that "flows", but that it is instead part of a fundamental
intellectual structure (together with space and number) within which humans sequence and
compare events. This second view, in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz[15] and Immanuel Kant,[22][23] holds that time is neither an event nor a thing, and
thus is not itself measurable nor can it
be travelled.
Time
is one of the seven fundamental physical quantities in the International System
of Units. Time is
used to define other quantities – such asvelocity — so defining time in terms of such
quantities would result in circularity of definition.[24] An operational
definition of
time, wherein one says that observing a certain number of repetitions of one or
another standard cyclical event (such as the passage of a free-swinging
pendulum) constitutes one standard unit such as the second, is highly useful in the conduct of
both advanced experiments and everyday affairs of life. The operational
definition leaves aside the question whether there is something called time,
apart from the counting activity just mentioned, that flows and that can be
measured. Investigations of a single continuum called spacetime bring questions about space into questions about time, questions
that have their roots in the works of early students of natural philosophy.
Furthermore,
it may be that there is a subjective component to time, but whether or not time
itself is "felt", as a sensation or an experience, has never been
settled.[3][7][8][25][26]
Temporal
measurement has occupied scientists and technologists, and was a prime motivation in navigation and astronomy.
Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units of
time. Examples include the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the
phases of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, and the beat of a heart.
Currently, the international unit of time, the second, is defined in terms of radiation
emitted by caesium atoms (see below).
Time is also of significant social importance, having economic value ("time is money") as well as personal value, due
to an awareness of the limited time in each day and in human life spans.

Artist Statement :
In my artwork, i tried to
visualized time by using numbers instead of letters . The numbers that falling
in sequence represented the time are always running .I choose the dimmy
background to show the mood like fading out, represented time pass everything
and no turning back time. Actually, I’ve used gold colour for the numbers
inside the bigger one to show the audience that the time is gold.
