Time

Time is measured in human, personal terms.  We register the passage of time by events; what is most meaningful to us.  The births, deaths, and critical events of our lives are the points we remember.  Yet, that is why time is always subjective.   The Venerable Bede (673-735) lies interred in Durham Cathedral.   He was responsible for dividing time into BC and AD .  -Stephen Jay Gould One person did that because it was important to him.  We do much the same in our lives, in our memories.
