time
time Perception of a sequential order in all experience; also the interval perceived between two events. A consideration of time falls within the disciplines of physics, psychology, philosophy, and biology. Until the theory of
relativity was devised by Albert
Einstein, time was conceived of as absolute – a constant one-direction (past to future) flow. Since then the concept of time linked with distance in
space (‘space-time’) has connected time with the relative velocities of those perceiving it. For clocks at velocities approaching that of light, time expands from the point of view of a stationary observer, but it still flows in the same direction.

Time to pull out ; There was a splendid column by Ian Pettyfer in the WMN2 Farming section on February 4 that suggested it was time to bid Hilary Benn goodbye.
