Magnitivism is the doctrine that opposes Presentism in relation to the existence of time.
1) Why is magnitive time objective?
It is objective because the intervals are real. The beginning and end of phenomena are real.
2) Why is it imperceptible?
It is imperceptible because we do not perceive the intervals or duration (start-end). If we walk for an hour we have seen the passage of an hour (becoming), but we do not perceive the hour in an instant in its entirety. This is the quality least understood by readers. In a day we see the sequential changes that the rotation of the Earth generates (becoming), but we do not see the duration of a day.
3) Why is it measurable?
We measure time by counting the intervals of natural periodic phenomena (day and year) and artificial ones (clocks). This measure is expressed and accumulated with the units of time.
