Before clock exist- how people track time?
will observing sky/ change of nature
Earth rotation create 24 hours/ earth movement around sun create a year
change of 4 seasons
The regular movement of the sun in an infinite cycle brings about the alternation of seasons. Thus, people defined the continuity of the seasons as "year" and used the year as a measure to calculate time.
Finding pattern in nature
- **Plato**
Plato was the philosopher who was the first to explain time.
"Does it exist?": Plato proposed that time does not exist eternally, that it is created, so that time itself has a beginning and no end.
"What it is": Plato considers time as a being, an independent being, that cannot be identified as material or immaterial, but that is the condition on which the universe and all things depend to continue their existence.
"How it is": Plato also said that time is invisible and can't be seen, that it moves in a steady, constant way, and that it will stay like this forever.
