We already have at least two. There is subjective time, in which we sense the flow of events around us. Time flies when we're having fun, and crawls at the oddest of times. There is objective time, in which we compare the flow of events in a machine with the flow of events around us. One can add relativistic time and sidereal time, off the top of one's head (this fourth is too closely related to 4/4 time for me to use that as a fifth). These are mere implications of nuances in the definition of time. I would say to your inspiration that he should first adequately define the obvious sort of time before implying that there is another that fits all of our conventional versions. --Blair "Who said 'science is truth?'
