Empirically, What Time Is

 What Time Is

Mathematically-empirically, Dynamic time (time 1) = distance (or length)/the rate (speed per unit of distance) of travel, transit, transpiration or decay of an object, event or object-event. Speed (dynamic time 2) = time/distance (or length). They are interrelated with and integral to one another.

Time is an objective reality, as every clock maker and user, musician, movie maker, teacher, student, doctor, biologist, geologist, astronomer, farmer, adult, elder, mortician, widow or widower, mother, (almost every) pubescent genetic girl, athlete, coach, racecar driver, timekeeper and audience, horse or dog racetrack jockey, timekeeper and audience, cook, vehicle engineer, builder, business operator, employee, etc., knows. The 3rd dimension of time is mere existence, the state of existence, the dwelling, durational state of being, aka presence, of a thing (object, event or object-event) or something or somethingness. Time is both dynamical and existential (potentially or theoretically a stasis state of being, as in existential-stasis time). In dynamic time there is sequence in motion, in the moment-to-moment progression of motion, in the motion of a thing or something, going from point A to point B, or from the start point, to the interim length, to the end, in and across the timestream, timescale and timescape of the thereby and therein streaming past, present and future) passage (sequential progression) at some given rate or set of rates of variable rates of slow or fast, or slow to fast, speed or velocity, or vice versa; however, existential time is the state of being unto itself of a thing, that seems to be or is theoretically free of dynamical time's distance and speed travel, transit, transpiration or decay, etc., motion frame-of-reference context of a thing. In the absence of such a context, existential time seemingly or theoretically lacks any motion (which in reality may be impossible in structures of inherently motional energy and matter, or either, in which in nature not even the fundamental quantum particles, ions, atoms and molecules of energy-matter structures are totally inactive and without motion, as even they either or do all: spin, oscillate, vibrate and/or transit), but may appear to or merely possibly indeed exist in behavioral or functional stasis. In any and all regard/s, time is duration, which may be finite, indefinite or, theoretically, infinite in extent, or duration and the rate of duration of a thing.

A universal, empirical definition of time is the state of existence and from-to duration (measure of duration, including its state of existence) of a thing (an object, event or object-event). Time for anything begins upon its inception and ends upon its death, terminus, cessation or dissolution.
