What is Time?

Time: it's a dimension, a dimension of space and time. But what's up with it? Is it just a human invention or does it actually exist?

We asked the great philosopher, Professor Timey McTimeface, about it. Here's what he said:

"Time is like a never-ending loop of boredom and existential dread."

"Or, you know, like a calendar app that just won't turn off."

But seriously, time is what we make of it. It's up to us to decide how we experience it, and whether we waste it or use it to make our lives better.

But don't just take our word for it! Read more about the paradoxes of time travel or check out time loops to learn more about the weirdness of time.

Or, if you're feeling really stuck, try our time dilation page to learn about how time can slow down for you, but not for everyone else. Muahahaha!

And if all else fails, just remember: time is just an excuse for procrastination. So, go ahead and figure out what to do with your life!
