How you understand time is related to your culture.
This fact might make you go “oh, that makes sense” but we doubt you have heard of it yet. According to scientific studies your understanding of time will change based on the culture that you were raised in. Most Americans and Europeans tend to think of time in intervals of just five minutes. If you were born and raised in the Middle East then you would think of time in 15 minute intervals. This means that 5 minutes in America feels like 15 minutes in the Middle East. Isn’t that crazy?

Physicists Don’t Believe in the ‘Now’.
Albert Einstein was a pretty smart guy by all accounts and his work has been used as a header for some of the greatest innovations of all time. So it should particularly blow your mind when your online colleges teach you about his belief in time. Albert Einstein, like many physicists, does not believe in the ‘present’ or ‘now’. Einstein said, “The distinction between past, present, and future is only an illusion.” Pretty mind blowing stuff, right? If you hadn’t learned this yet then you are probably struggling to wrap your mind around the concept of no ‘now’. Einstein and those with an understanding of physics thoroughly believe that there is no such thing as time. Matter is matter, which cannot be created or destroyed, and time is only a box created by mankind to judge the world around them. This is pretty heavy stuff to read before breakfast. Double up the bacon, please.
