A Different Perspective
Time measurement can be arbitrary and culturally dependent.
![“[F]or time itself is conceived as 'coming round'; and this again because time and such a standard rotation mutually determine each other. Hence, to call the happenings of a thing a circle is saying that there is a sort of circle of time; and that is because it is measured by a complete revolution…” quote by Aristotle](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/bf7/aristotle-78_time_f-or-time-itself-is-conceived-as-coming_1343711.jpg)
