How we see time reflects worldview.

For the Colson Center, I'm John Stone Street with the point.

From Neolithic constructions to atomic clocks, how humans measure time reveals what we value most,

writes Clara Moskowitz and Scientific American.

She's reviewing physicist Chad Orzel's new book, A Brief History of Timekeeping, and her comments insightful.

We may not think measuring time is an extensional worldview, but it is.

Osgenus says it this way, accelerated times one of the primary shapers of our modern world,

far more influential than any individual modern thinker. Though our timekeeping tools have made

us incredibly productive, they also encourage us to ignore the contextual clues from the world around

us. Under the glare of LED lights, for example, we can stay up and work when even our hardest

working forebears would have chosen to rest.

One of the best gifts Christians can give the world today is a recontextualization of time.

It's like Professor Kelly Capik writes in his book, You're Only Human.

What we want most is to live in harmony with time instead of being driven by it.

We might gain productivity, but we lose far more.
