Is time a straight line?

Open in App

Solution

It is possible to define time as the dimension on which any system evolves.
Its length can be expressed in terms of milliseconds, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years.
The fourth dimension, known as time, is perceived as a line. It's more than just a line. It is nothing more than the entire universe stretched into motion.
Hence, time is a straight line.
