> We only know it because it is what we are taught; My experience with African culture (so far) has shown me that they simply don't have the same concept of time as I have here in America; Time is relative. If time is relative; is it real?-
We measure the passage of events. The universe evolves and we refer to the universe as containing space-time; really space evolution. Time is our measurement, on a clock, based on the sun and earth rotation. Light-years are a distance mechanism we invent. As noted in the physics of the universe time can run in either direction, but doesn't appear to. We are built to remember the past and recognize the present instant, and the arrow points to the future in our minds and consciousness. Time is as real as we make it, but it is our construct.
