Who Actually Invented Time? (And Why We All Agreed On It)

Every clock on Earth follows a system humans created. But who decided what an hour is, why there are 60 minutes in one, and how the entire world came to agree on what time it is? Thousands of years ago, people estimated time by watching shadows move across the ground. Ancient civilizations developed sundials and water clocks. The Babylonians helped shape the number system behind our minutes and seconds. Then railways made local time a serious problem, forcing countries to find a better way to synchronize their clocks. Today, atomic clocks measure time using the behavior of atoms, helping coordinate everything from smartphones and airline schedules to global communications. But here's the real mystery: *Did we invent time, or did we simply invent the rules for measuring it?* In this episode of Dineri Explains, discover how humanity went from tracking the Sun to synchronizing clocks across the planet—and why the time on your phone depends on a surprisingly long history of human decisions.
