Time is a series of planes existing superficially in the same universe. - "The Bird and the Machine"

Time is simply a concept created by mankind. Who says a day is made up of a mere 24 hours? Who can be sure that a week really exists? Time is simply an agenda helping us keep track of when we are doing what. Time simply has to do with our planet earth and cannot be the same anywhere else in the universe. The watched we make are all artificial and they are mere instruments that give us a the wrong information.
One can never “tell” time. Time itself is a basic theory created by mankind to able to conduct certain tasks at certain “times” of the day. The truth in my opinion is that we all exist within this concept of time and it is greater than anything the human mind is able to perceive. Even if it is the fourth dimension as Einstein says it is, human brain is not evolved enough to be able to manipulate it like we do with three-dimensional objects. Because when you think of it, time has nothing to do with other beings. It can exist in solitude long before and after the universe.
In that sense, we can never know what we would consider as time. We can not say whether it is a plane or multiple planes simply because we can not know. Time on its own is larger than anything in this universe we live in. However, I cannot go without saying that it is obvious that time is somehow affected by the forces of our universe. Perhaps it is the gravity in our world or some other force but is apparent that each planet has a time frame of its own. All in all, to be able to understand time to the fullest extent we have to be able detach ourselves from this notion that time can be measured or that it could b “told.” Truth is, time is a roaring waterfall.

(Ironic that Pink Floyd’s song “Time” came up while writing this.)
