What is time? "Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future." - Wikipedia If you had to answer it, what would you say? It's a measurement to measure the process of continuous action? or maybe something like that... Surprisingly, only branch to study time such intensively is Physics. Most physicist would agree that time is most difficult property of universe to understand and dream for Science-Fiction lovers. even in most complex models, time is considered to be 'basic' and independent of everything. Though many prove Time dilation and time-travel. In general science time is considered as an unit of measurement: simply what the clock reads(yes, doctor checking heart beat rate on his clock ;-) ). however in physics time is considered to be and everdivisible linear continuum. this has lead to such high precisions of up to freaking 10 -15 se
But wait, this isn't only strange thing about it. Quantum physics is weird. Once you say you understand it, you get 5 more reasons to argue it. Same is in case here. the normal model of Quantum mechanics says everything is made up of elementary particles like quark, electrons, protons. String theory says everything is just a string vibrating in its own way. yes, it summates more complexities but it solves many decade old problems. Just look at the standard model which says everything it made up of 12 elementary particles The standard model We have six quarks and six leptons which make up particles. photons bind the electromagnetic waves, gluons are the "glue" that binds up the strong nuclear forces, while W and Z bosons are responsible for weak nuclear forces. As we know there are four fundamental forces Gravity, Electromagnetism, Strong and Weak nuclear forces. Astonishingly scientists aren't able to explain the most famous force-Gravity. And here comes the
