Time is measured by counting periodic intervals. Periodic intervals are phenomena that repeat in the same order and have the same duration. This is proof that time exists objectively and is not an illusion as some believe. Time is also not a dimension of space because spatial dimensions are static while time is fluid. The measurement of time is a mathematical process. With the movements of the earth, we measure years and days, and with clocks, we measure hours, minutes, and seconds.
Duration is the becoming delimited by a start and an end.
In conclusion, time is the physical magnitude that continuously increases in value due to its becoming and that is used to measure the duration of things.Time is a sub-perceptual magnitude because we only perceive a succession of irreversible moments. We perceive intervals mathematically through measurements.
