Time has two distinct aspects: its nature and its measurement.
Time is the interval between two sequential moments, one of which marks the beginning and the other the end.
Time is magnitive. Magnitive denotes the ineffable quality of time—that it is objective, sub-perceptible, and measurable. The term magnitive is derived from the word magnitude and the suffix -ive.
Time is measurable thanks to periodic phenomena—events that recur consistently with the same period. The movements of the Earth, for instance, serve as examples of such periodic phenomena.
Philochrony represents the nature of time, while Physics represents its measurement. Physicists have drifted away from the nature of time due to their extensive reliance on mathematics (Calculus). Indeed, some physicists have even gone so far as to conclude that time does not exist, simply because they cannot visualize it within their equations.
