Time cannot be measured by clocks from "summary" of Time and Free Will (Annotated Edition) by Henri Bergson
Clocks are instruments created by human beings to measure time. They are mechanical devices that tick away, dividing time into equal parts, and allowing us to track its passage. However, these clocks can only measure what is external and objective, such as the movement of the hands or the ticking of the seconds. They cannot capture the essence of time itself, which is subjective and constantly changing. Time, as experienced by each individual, is a fluid and dynamic phenomenon. It is not something that can be easily quantified or divided into neat, equal segments. Time has a quality of its own, a unique rhythm that cannot be captured by the ticking of a clock. It is a lived experience, full of meaning and significance, that cannot be reduced to mere numbers on a dial. While clocks can help us organize our daily lives and coordinate our activities with others, they cannot truly measure the depth and richness of our experiences. Time is not simply a series of moments passing by, but a complex interplay of past, present, and future. It is shaped by our memories, desires, and aspirations, creating a tapestry of moments that cannot be captured by a mechanical device.- Time is a subjective phenomenon that defies the limitations of clocks and other measuring instruments. It is a deeply personal experience that varies from person to person, depending on their unique perspective and circumstances. While clocks can provide a useful tool for practical purposes, they cannot fully capture the essence of time itself. Time is a mystery that unfolds in its own way, beyond the reach of our mechanical inventions.
