 Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A tesseract, a cube in 3 dimensions extended to a fourth, as a description of time; adhering to defined finite bounds, all possibilities for this configuration are conceptually representable.
Time is also a matter 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 our lives.
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.

 Time (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first issue of Time was published on 1923, featuring on its cover Joseph G. Cannon, the retired Speaker of the United States House of Representatives.
Each week, his "The March of Time" radio program presented a dramatization of the week's news for its listeners.
TIME was co-founded in 1923 by Briton Hadden and Henry Luce, making it the first weekly news magazine in the United States.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Time
Of this quantitative increment time is the representation.
To Kant and his followers time is an a priori form, a natural disposition by virtue of which the inner sense clothes the acts of the external senses, and consequently the phenomena which these acts represent, with the distinctive characteristics of time.
Every mind distinguishes in time the past, the present, and the future, that is parts which essentially exclude simultaneity and can be realized only one after the other.

 Time [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
Spacetime is four-dimensional and a continuum, with time being a distinguished, one-dimensional sub-space of this continuum.
Proper time along a worldline in 4-d spacetime is the time elapsed by an object having that worldline, as shown on an ideal clock having the same worldline.
If physical time, psychological time, and biological time are three different kinds of time, then three answers are required to the question "What is time?" and some commentary is required regarding their relationships, such as whether one is the most fundamental.

 6.11 time -- Time access and conversions
Year 2000 (Y2K) issues: Python depends on the platform's C library, which generally doesn't have year 2000 issues, since all dates and times are represented internally as seconds since the epoch.
The precision, and in fact the very definition of the meaning of ``processor time'', depends on that of the C function of the same name, but in any case, this is the function to use for benchmarking Python or timing algorithms.
DST is Daylight Saving Time, an adjustment of the timezone by (usually) one hour during part of the year.

 Time
The question of whether there could be time without change has been debated by philosophers since the days of Plato and Aristotle, and has traditionally been thought to be closely tied to the question of whether time exists independently of the events that occur in time.
On this view, time is like an empty container into which events may be placed; but it is a container that exists independently of whether or not anything is placed in it.
Other issues concerning the topology of time include (i) whether time is branching or non-branching, (ii) whether time is open or closed, (iii) whether there can be two or more disconnected time streams, (iv) whether time has an intrinsic direction, and (v) whether time is dense or continuous or neither.

 Time Travel and Modern Physics
Loop L thus represents the angle x that the dial is at when it is thrown into the time machine, given that it started at angle I and then encountered a dial (its older self) which was at angle y when it emerged from the time machine.
It is ironic that time travel should lead generically not to contradictions or to constraints (in the normal region) but to underdetermination of what happens in the time travel region by what happens everywhere else (an underdetermination tied neither to a probabilistic dynamics or to a free edge to space-time).
Thus the reason why the global time travel properties of the counterfactual space-time have to be significantly different from the actual space-time is not that there are problems with metric singularities or alterations in the metric that force significant global changes when we go to the counterfactual matter distribution.

 Earth and Moon Viewer: Time and Date

Note that the Apollo 11 landing time was chosen so that the Sun would be low in the sky at the time of the final descent--this made it much easier to discern craters and rocks which might upset the Lunar Module were it to alight upon them.
Astronomers frequently work with events with great regularity in time, and need to be able to calculate the difference between two dates or when a particular phenomenon will recur in the future without checking off boxes on a calendar.

 Z-Time - by Harold F. Maybeck
This notation, "Z", is appended to times on most navigational, meteorological, and astronomical charts today to indicate that the time of the chart is in "Greenwich Mean Time".
The first zone centered on 15° West longitude became time zone "N", the next time zone west centered on 30° West longitude became time zone "O", etc, etc. Approaching the International Date Line from the east, Bowditch designated the remaining "half zone" from 172.5° West longitude to 180° longitude as time zone "Y".
The "original" expression "In jig time" was a sailors expression, meaning "in no time at all", because there is no "JIG" time zone.

SIDEREAL TIME: Closely connected with the Mean Solar Time is the Sidereal Time, which is defined as the RA (Right Ascension) of the Local Meridian: when the Vernal Point passes the meridian it is 00:00 Sidereal Time.
The Sidereal Time at a particular place and location is the same as the local Mean Solar Time, plus 12 hours, plus the Right Ascension of the Mean Sun (which is the same as the Mean Longitude of the true sun).

 fUSION Anomaly. Time
Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
Time zones are described by their distance east or west of the zero meridian that passes through Greenwich, England.
Neither mean solar time nor mean sidereal time is precisely accurate, because the motion of the earth on its axis is not regular.

In astronomy it is used as the time coordinate for apparent ephemerides for an Earthbound viewer.
TT is a Platonic time scale: a theoretical ideal, not dependent on a particular realisation.
Time coordinates on the TT and TCG scales are conventionally specified using traditional means of specifying days, carried over from non-uniform time standards based on the rotation of the Earth.

 Polynomial time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathematicians sometimes use the notion of "polynomial time on the length of the input" as a definition of a "fast" computation, as opposed to "super-polynomial time", which is anything slower than that.
In computational complexity theory, polynomial time refers to the computation time of a problem where the time, m(n), is no greater than a polynomial function of the problem size, n.
Exponential time is one example of a super-polynomial time.

 Time zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ISO 8601 - the international standard for representation of dates, times and time zones.
Time zones were first proposed for the entire world by Canada's Sir Sandford Fleming in 1876 as an appendage to the single 24-hour clock he proposed for the entire world (located at the center of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian!).
A time zone is a region of the Earth that has adopted the same standard time, usually referred to as the local time.

 Unix time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Instead, times with sub-second precision are represented using compound data types that consist of two integers, the first being a time_t (the integral part of the Unix time), and the second being the fractional part of the time number in millionths (in struct timeval) or billionths (in struct timespec).
It is an encoding of UTC, and is sufficiently similar to a linear representation of the passage of time that it is frequently mistaken for one.
As a result, Unix times such as 915 148 799.50, apparently in the second preceding a leap second, are de facto ambiguous, as are (both de facto and de jure) times such as 915 148 800.50.
