WHAT IS TIME?

Time is objective, absolute and perceptible. Time is the inherent property of matter to experience changes which manifest between a beginning and an end (duration). The duration is objective, relative and imperceptible (It is a priori). Duration is the interval between two moments.

Time is absolute because it doesn't have a cause. Time is the first cause, the first motor. The duration is relative, not due to the movement, but the sequential order in which events occur. We have three events a, b and c . "b" is earlier with respect to "c", but is also later with respect to "a". Also the duration is relative because it depends on several factors: the intensity and pace of events and the consistency of the bodies.

The high speed does not affect time, but it alters the perception of objects subject to it. For example, when we go in a car on the road and we look to a side, we see that things are moving in the opposite direction to the car .

P.S.:
- The becoming is the beginning of an interval or a phenomenon.
- A priori is intuitive.
