(earth time) Time is the Earth's rotation around the Sun. What are you talking about regarding time in space? I think there is no time in space; there is only a chronology of events that constantly occur...

Time is one of the fundamental concepts in physics and philosophy, one of the coordinates of spacetime, along which the world lines of physical objects are extended.

Yes, something along those lines. For me, the greatest mystery remains why time, and not any of the other 3 or more coordinates (who knows how many there actually are?), was chosen as the "privileged" one from the point of view of human consciousness... And is it possible to think differently, without singling out "privileged" coordinates?

For me, the greatest mystery will always be why it is time, and not any of the other 3 or more coordinates, that holds such significance.

This question also troubles me, but perhaps there are several reasons for it. I just wish I could understand what they are...

Because you can travel through space, but not through time.

Because you can travel in space, but not in time.

Lies and provocation. Read my essay. You can travel in time, but only in one direction.

Time is... time. You can't stop it, rewind it, speed it up, or slow it down. It's uncontrollable (like the berserkers and wild bulls in Might and Magic IV). And yet, if you manage to do everything, you can gain control over it.

Наш мир полон тайн и чудес.
Многие их ищут, многим они вовсе не нужны, а многие даже не замечают их, не понимают что они вокруг нас, каждый день, везде.
А эти чудеса порой, сокрыты в обычных, привычных предметах.
