Our defs have changed...

There is a large body of knowledge surrounding the concept of time. Both philosophy and physics have provided foundations in our current understanding. Early discussions about time appeared in the writings of the Hebrews and the Zoroastrian Iranians. Aristotle's Physics , the arguments of Newton and Leibniz, Godel's solutions to equations of Einstein's relativity, Hawkings' public lectures, all have contributed to this body of knowledge.

Of course, only Time will tell.
