Time? What's time? Just an illusion. Actually, it is something we created so we wouldn't be late to the party. Did you know the first of the year used to be in March? Why do you think the months are October (octo - eight), November (nov - nine) and December (dec - ten)? And did you know that we went from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, jumped ahead 13 days (the peasants thought their time was being stolen) in 1582, because without leap year, solar time was ahead of the Julian calendar. Only the Russians didn't make the change, so until 1918, the date in Russia was different from the rest of Europe.
