Running out of Time


It seems that time has been discovered to organize our lives, but the big question that Lionel Laurent from Forbes asks is "does time really exist?"  He uses the example of the tea cup.  If you knock the teacup off the table it is improbable, not impossible to have the pieces fly back together and become a whole teacup again.  According to a professor in physics Rovelli, he says that you can not see a future where the teacup gets back together if there is no cause for it. But is there ever a cause for time?

 Time to me is very abstract.  There are some days where there is not enough time, and on the other hand some days are just too long.  It's hard to grasp an idea that keeps changing.  The idea of time is so complicated, yet it was made to simplify our lives.
