It can be freaky. I just realized today that it's been exactly a year that I moved into this condo, but if I didn't know the date and somebody asked me how long it had been I'd say 5-6 months. When you're days start running together a month can pass without hardly noticing it.

Einstein did not believe time existed in the conventional sense. This is what he wrote to the family of his recently deceased best friend;

"Now he has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion."

Past present and future are an illusion. The past certainly no longer exists. The fact that there even is a future is in no way guaranteed. Greek philosophers argued for centuries over the paradoxes of defining the present - is the present now, oh wait it's already gone into the past which doesn't exist anymore, is it now?

So the past isn't real anymore, the present is undefinable so all we have is the hope that there is a future? This is truly crazy stuff, intuitively we accept time but the greatest minds in human history have yet to, despite immense effort, define the nature of what we call time and thus the nature of our existence and the answer to the ultimate questions "what are we and why are we here?"

The interval between now and when I get laid again.

What is time?

Where the observer & observed are relative to light at the moment they all come together.

It is a linear progression of the current universe cycle we are in. We will either collapse internally, or merge with another universe and reset the clock.
