    The earliest time measurements were observations of cycles of the natural world, using patterns of changes from day to night and season to season to build calendars. More precise time-keeping eventually came along to put time in more convenient boxes. But what exactly are we measuring? Andrew Zimmerman Jones contemplates whether time is something that physically exists or is just in our heads.

    If time does exist, you'll probably want to read a brief history of it. Download a free audiobook version of Stephen Hawking's classic here:

    I believe time is a construct of the mind to understand change.

    As long as humans are alive time will exist. Without humans time doesn’t matter.

    I always get a funny feel when I think about how all our questions now would one day be common sense. Like how gravity was a mystery before and it was thought up by one of the greatest minds in history, but now its more of common sense and taught in school to 10year olds. In the future, all these mind boggling concepts and theories would become common sense that kids learn in school.

    I feel like time is just the word we give to the phenomena of watching things in a 3D space move and breaking down those movements into digestible intervals. Similar to his example with the movie, what we call time can be broken down into individual “snapshots” of our universe. Without atoms moving, time doesn’t exist. Imagine the world was frozen, every atom stuck in its place, how would time even possibly be measured in such an instance?

    Not only is the content great, but the animation is simply incredible, I can't imagine the amount of creativity and skill it must take to make something like this
