Explain the different between period of time and point of time giving your own example?

Period of time = range of time, meaning between two specific time periods. e.g. Jan to Dec 2006\n\nPoint of time = specific. e.g. Jan 2006

The passing of time is unique to each and every observer - relative. Since every single person occupies a unique portion of time/space at any given time, their perspective to events and durations is diffirent, also state of mind seems to have an effect as to how observant we are to the passing of time.

GOOD QUESTION: well done! There is not really any such thing as time, it is merely our way of describing a particular abstract concept. If it was a solid physical reality it surely couldn't be relative. Lets all go and read Einstein and try to figure it out!

Time is a principle only. It is not a object or force.\nMan made the time for remind his activities and incidents of his life. Scientist made time to rate the action like speed, heat etc. activity of objects couldn't stopped for time. because it is not a object or force.Time is one of the principles in physics.

The best answer is spare. This is because it fits with the sentence perfectly well when u read it out. You can't give time to people neither to take it nor allow the time. Remember, time does not wait for us.

Hi. The first three are physical, the fourth is temporal, the rest are mathematical. We think of the fourth as time, but it really is not. Time, when you get down to it, is an infinite series of 'moments', not to be confused with seconds, years, picoseconds, etc. Humans tend to measure the passing of time in rather coarse terms. If you could see time then objects would be stretched out. A human, for instance, would look like a very long worm tapering from very small (an egg) to adult size to bones, which would last the longest.

There are two sorts of ages to which you may be referring... the first is the geological time scale, which is arranged a series of eons, eras, periods, etc. The first source below has a very detailed table of all of them. There is also the human procession of ages, (e.g. iron age, copper age, etc.). They are listed in the other source.

Let's say the pendulum starts on the left. It passes through the eq. point, then moves to the right, then passes the eq. point again, then back to the left. If it took 1 second to move from the eq. point to the right and back again, then it took a 1/2 second to get there from the left and to swing back to the left. Therefore, the period is 2s.

Time is currently one of the few fundamental quantities. These are quantities which can not be defined via other quantities because there is nothing more fundamental known at present. Thus, similar to definition of other fundamental quantities (like space and mass), time is defined via measurement. Currently, the standard time interval (called conventional second, or simply second) is defined as 9 192 631 770 oscillations of a hyperfine transition in the 133caesium (Cs) atom.\n\nThis definition of time coupled to the current definition of space in physics makes our space-time to be Minkowski space-time - and thus makes special relativity absolutely correct simply by definition.\n\nPrior to Albert Einstein's relativistic physics, time and space had been treated as distinct dimensions; Einstein linked time and space into spacetime. He said that time was basically what a clock reads; the clock can be any action or change, like the movement of the sun. Einstein showed that people traveling at different speeds will measure different times for events and different distances between objects, though these differences are minute unless one is traveling at a speed close to that of light. Many subatomic particles exist for only a fixed fraction of a second in a lab relatively at rest, but some that travel close to the speed of light can be measured to travel further and survive longer than expected (a muon is one example). According to the special theory of relativity, in the high-speed particle's frame of reference, it exists for the same amount of time as usual, and the distance it travels in that time is what would be expected for that velocity. Relative to a frame of reference at rest, time seems to "slow down" for the particle. Relative to the high-speed particle, distances seems to shorten. Even in Newtonian terms time may be considered the fourth dimension of motion; but Einstein showed how both temporal and spatial dimensions can be altered (or "warped") by high-speed motion.\n\nEinstein (The Meaning Of Relativity): "Two events taking place at the points A and B of a system K are simultaneous if they appear at the same instant when observed from the middle point, M, of the interval AB. Time is then defined as the ensemble of the indications of similar clocks, at rest relatively to K, which register the same simultaneously."

I think he meant to ask why a day is divided into 24 and not 36 or 48.  The actual time would be the same but there would be short intervals.  A half hour would end up being an hour.  Why divide a circle into 360 or an hour into 60.  \n\nHour :- "a traditional unit of time, equal to 60 minutes, or 3600 seconds, or 1/24 day. The custom of dividing the daylight into 12 hours goes back at least as far as the Babylonians, who liked to divide units by 12 because groups of 12 are easily divided into halves, thirds, or fourths. Originally an hour was 1/12 of the time between sunrise and sunset, so summer hours were longer than winter hours. Later, when people wanted to express times at night, it was natural to divide the night into 12 hours as well, making 24 hours in the day. Only after the invention of mechanical clocks, around 1300, did hours became equal intervals marked by clocks. The word comes from an ancient Greek word hora which originally meant a season, especially a religious season, and hence a "defined" period of time. In the Christian church hora came to mean one of the services held at seven specific times during the day, thus establishing the word as marking subdivisions of the day." \n\n\nhttp://mathforum.org/library/drmath/view/58460.html

Time is a property of universe by which we discriminate two different states of universe.\n Such as time helps us to discriminate the difference between an apple in the tree and the same on the ground..\n That is why time is always measured by the changed states of some device or fact (two ticks of aclock makes a second).\n But the reverse is not true-If we see an apple for 1 year on a tree we can't say the events are at same time.That is because our mind can measure time too.

This sounds too much like someone's homework!\n\nThe period is far to wide to narrow down any of the categories you want info in.  Perhaps you should actually look it up in some books - you know, actually do some research!

"Someone to been able to travel in time" every time someone moves. Point "A" to point "B". That is travel and it took time!

Time has to pass means that, in order for change to occur, one must allow time.  Times are changing means that the customs of a particular period are altering into something more relevent to the current period.

Seconds are a segment of an hour, which is in turn a segment of a day.\n\n*shrug*  Not sure what you mean by relationship
