What time is it?

Seems to be a very easy question to answer ?? probably yes, until you watch the BBC's horizon program [link provided below].

Particle physicist, Brian Cox, talks about "bending" time and goes deeper into Einstein's space / time relation.

But what struck me the most is the fact that what we take for granted [Time] is actually a phenomenon that is still debated/researched upon. Even today, as I write this article, 21st century modern physicists are trying to match the findings of Quantum Mechanics to Einstein's Time theory.

Brian Cox goes on to say that the question 'What time is it' actually would have varied answers depending upon every individual and their every action.

And you should watch the ultra-slow motion videos shown in the program. Mind-blowing stuff.
