| Jan 2, 2015 at 5:47 | comment | added | Arturo don Juan | Ah that definition is actually pretty satisfying. | |
| Jan 2, 2015 at 5:37 | comment | added | CuriousOne | Time is that which a suitable clock shows. Here is a piece of good advice: look into a physics textbook if you want to learn about physics, don't use the dictionary. The same is true for chemistry, biology or anything else. Dictionaries are very poor sources of information about anything, sometimes including language. | |
