Who decides what time it is?

It takes 365 days for the earth to revolve around the sun.

It takes 24 hours for the earth to make one complete revolution around it axis.

… The rest well I have to think a little .. I don’t like thinking …

But you’re right !! Who the F cares about time? Only the really busy people. Time does not exist. Age is only the movement of atoms. Atoms moving from here to there. Those darn atoms, deceiving us all.

Actually, it’s not that someone just came up and said, “Gee…I think I’ll call this 12:00” or whatever.

Every year is about 365 days because that is how long it takes for the Earth to circle the Sun.

A month, according to wikipedia, can be defined as: a unit of time, used with calendars, which is approximately as extensive as some natural period related to the motion of the Moon.

A second is defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom. (wikipedia, again)

I can’t really say much more because I don’t know much about this stuff either, but I suggest googling to find out more and try encyclopaedia britannica online.

but you’re right. Who cares about time, really? haha

Hope that helps!

The sun, the earth and the moon. A year is the amount of time it takes for the earth to go around the sun, A day is the time it takes for the earth to complete 1 rotation, In ancient times nobody had a watch, they used a sundial and other devices to tell time by the shadow the sun makes, I could write a whole book on this

It’zs not the question who decided what time is it,but rather that some group of prehistoric observers noticed that every year is about the same long,and days get shorter or longer,proportionate to the nights and so on…,and it seems to be that in every Culture they arranged their calculations as much accurately as possible.Their Life cycles,food,mating rituals,etc. went into it.Survival.As I heard we are not even the most precise,given that we “correct”/confirm with better technology.The Mayas or Aztecs were much precise without such gizmos.Maybe their maths or their geography,ah! and maybe because they had warm Chocolate while waiting the slow and long Moon observations.

Now if you want to live with your back to the Time and ignore something “even a caveman wont do it”…go ahead,ahem_backward to the Past.

How about without Fire,too?

Time is decided by the astronomers in Greenwich, England.

The 24 hours in a day and number of second in a minute and the length of a day was decided in ancient Babylon. The calendar has gone through a number of changes. Once by Julius Ceasar and once by Pope Gregory.

Well it has a lot to do with the sun and the rotation of the earth.

Our way of counting time is believed by most to have come from the babylonian counting system.

I thought that was Chicago.

If you want to know about time, it would take a lot of explaining, and I’m not an expert on it anyway.
