"Time" is an abstraction imposed upon us by physicists, bureaucrats and others to create order. As when loud church bells, or minaret chanting, created shared community time. "Change" is concrete, empirical, intersubjectively communicable. Some changes, like positions of hands on clocks or ringing of bells, particulary Big Ben (now under repair), and subatomic processes, are chosen as representing "time", carrying "time", even as being "time". "No change" means no time. But clocks continue, marking "time".
Resumo
"Tempo" é uma abstração que nos é imposta por físicos, burocratas e outros para criar ordem. Como quando os altos sinos da igreja, ou os cantos de minaretes, criavam um tempo comunitário compartilhado. "Mudança" é concreta, empírica, intersubjetivamente comunicável. Algumas mudanças, como as posições das mãos nos relógios ou o toque dos sinos, especialmente o Big Ben (agora em reparo) e os processos subatómicos, são escolhidos como representando "tempo", carregando "tempo", e até mesmo sendo "tempo". "Nenhuma mudança" significa que não há tempo. Mas os relógios continuam marcando "tempo".
