Time is not what clocks say.

The idea of time is actually based on counting repeated events, which we 
assume to happen in a constant rate.

The basic counting happens in days, because that rythm is very obvious.

Now we devide these days in 24 hours, those in 60 minutes and those in 
60 seconds and have time units.

Unfortunately the day has not a constant length, but that length changes 
very slowly.

Therefore other means were requirred.

Clocks in Einsteins time counted the rotations of a tiny rotor, which 
was driven by a wound up spring.

That mechanism was called 'clock' and was ectually less precise than the 
Earth' rotations.

Much later quartz cristalls were use to advanced time-measurments and 
even later certain frequencies in some gases.

But still the same principle applies, that something happens repeatedly 
and we count that, do some math and derive the current time from the result.

Only this is not time per se, but a certain type of measurement of what 
we think time actually is.

Problem: most likely our guesses are wrong.
