Time
Why does time seem to pass quickly when we are busy, or when we are children, and why does it seem to move slowly for the elderly or those with plenty of free time?
Most people would agree that the answer lies in psychology, philosophy, or perhaps physics.
But what if the answer lies much deeper than that?
Let us explain this idea through a simple example.
Imagine a car traveling at a speed of 320 km/h along a completely empty, open road.
What is the only thing that proves its presence there?
Its weight? Its length? Its size? Or perhaps the length of the road?

Of course not.
The only thing that establishes its presence is the time it spends in that particular place.
Through this very simple thought experiment, we suggest that time may be the only true fundamental unit of measurement, while other units of measurement were created by humans to make life easier.
Time is not merely a unit of measurement. It is something objective, something that existed long before humanity itself.
Yet, we notice that time remains just one element among many in various fields of knowledge, such as physics and philosophy.
But what if I told you that time could have a science of its own?
And what if imagination could actually become reality?
