What follows is based on some notes used for a talk/discussion given to the moot. The idea was to investigate the way that we perceive the passing of time and the attempts by humans to build a framework around this. The purpose is to look at the origins of some of the concepts and to understand that these ideas are still developing by adaption, fusion and invention. I hoped that by removing some of the mystery or confusion attached to some of these concepts that it may make them more familiar when used on more mystical occasions.
