| | Time |
 | | There are several continuous time scales in current use: Universal Time, International Atomic Time (TAI), which is the basis for other time scales, Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), which is the basis for civil time, Terrestrial Time (TT), etc. Humankind has invented calendars to track the passages of days, weeks, months, and years. |
 | | The term "time", however, describes both the measurable interval between two ( perceived or conceived) events, and implies the truth of a continuous measurable system as the purposeful metric for conceptualizing relationships between the forementioned two events and all other events within the same universe. |
 | | However, some aspects of time use are relatively stable over long periods of time, such as the amount of time spent traveling to work, which despite major changes in transport, has been observed to be about 20-30 minutes one-way for a large number of cities over a long period of time. |
