55. Cyndi Lauper, Time After Time
Is time really how we experience it, a linear sequence of events with a beginning and an end—a Big Bang at one end and an End Times on the other? Or does it function, as some believe, as a never-ending cycle, a serpent eating its tail that infinitely repeats itself? Or is it both—or something else entirely? We furry bipedal creatures will probably never wrap our meaty brains around the puzzle, at least not while we are encased in these bodies. All we can do is assemble the best suitcase of memories possible while our second hand unwinds.
Cyndi Lauper, “Time After Time,” Written by Cyndi Lauper & Rob Hyman, 1983.

My thought is time is a human construct based on numerical symbols and solar events. Each individual has their concept of time and which may differ from one person to the next.
(also, there is a way to slow time down..that is...if you would want to slow time).
And don't forget synchronicity.
Yes time after time
