Magnitive describes the ineffable quality of time: of being objective, subperceptible, and measurable. Magnitive is derived from “magnitude” and the suffix ive. This word was created by me on September 15, 2017. Time is subperceptible because we only see the beginning and the end of an interval and think about its magnitude. Time is measurable thanks to periodic phenomena, which always repeat with the same period. Examples of periodic phenomena include the movements of the Earth and the Moon. It is objective because it does not need an observer to exist, as Aristotle believed
