IMHO Time is the most objective thing we have. It doesn't give a crap on your origin, race, social status, money, color of the skin, religion, political believes, ideology... whatever. It it the same for all, it has the same value for all and everyone of us will regret to have wasted it with less important crap in one way or another... EDIT: after 3 answers... One tries to say something "nice" or "deep" and you take it apart with logic... Seriously people... WT:elephant:? :doh: :doh: :-D
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Except that subjectively, time is very different for all of us, at various 'times' of our lives. If you are waiting for something important, time can seem to go very slowly. When I was a child, time seemed to run very slow. Now the years just fly by... Looking back, the difference seems stark.

> Time is the most objective thing we have. Not since Einstein's Theory of Relativity was published. Every frame of reference has a different time, and these times cannot, in general, be synchronised (Only frameworks stationary relative to each other can be synchronised.).
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.

Nitpicky... :doh: :laugh: On the other hand... time might be different long in case of the relativity, but the effect to people will still be the same under their own perspective / reality / timeframe / however it is called. So what I told before continue applying, only under a different "speed"

That's the perception of it in your brain. That's a different story.

It may be objective, but it's not the same for everyone. General Relativity says otherwise. GR is correct, because if it weren't GPS and other satellite navigation systems wouldn't work.
I didn't say it is the same (phisically). I only said that it doesn't care about anything regarding us while doing its job, that it has the same value for all and that most will end regreting having wasted it.

I suspect you would view that differently while waiting for the results of significant medical operation on a child.
Why? on the clock the time would be the same for everyone. The perception of it while waiting for the results would be bigger / slower for me, yeah, I give you that, but still the perception of it, not the time itself.

Well, I mean... space doesn't care either. :shrug:
