What time is it?

Well as I write this blog it is approximately 5:29pm but the answer to the above question is far more complex than a one-word answer; matter fact i don't think there's an aswer! First off, we have to make clear as to what aspect of time we are talking about; psychological (internal time) or physical time (clocks). As a conscious living organism with the capability to interpret and percieve notions, we all have and use an internal time reference (psycholgical time); is that temporal reference we use when we say time goes slower when anxiously waiting for the bus or faster when we are immersed in an interesting book. Likewise physical time is what my initial answer to the question would have been if asked what time is it; it is time in reference to seconds, minutes and hours as well days, weeks, months and years etc. Scientists developed the S.I. Unit scale to avoid the complications of local units of measurments; this scale offered a universaly recognized unit for each measurement. To me, physical time is to psychological time like units are to measurments; its a lot easier to talk of lengths in terms of inches and yards and consequently time could be in minutes and hours. We all our internal clocks to refer to like for example if we can tell if we have been sleeping for a long time or have been waiting endlessly for a bus but it is a lot easier if asked by someone else to say " i have been sleeping for two hours or have been waiting on the bus for the last ten minutes". Therefore the physical time to me is just a way of reading and analyzing psychological time essential in our external world and to make sense of our time-related experiences.
