'''Time''' is an abstract concept of measuring the sequence of events within the universe. It is the fourth known dimension of reality.
'''Time''' is an abstract concept of measuring the sequence of events within the universe. It is the fourth known dimension of reality.
German physicist [[Albert Einstein]] believed that time was intrinsicly linked with space, although recent research may call this into question. See [[Theory_of_relativity#Ostensible_Paradoxes]].
In legal proceedings, court rules specify how time is calculated for determining deadlines. The [[Federal Rules of Civil Procedure]], for example, has a separate Rule 6 entitled "'''Time'''". As of 2008 it specifies that holidays and weekends are included in calculating time periods for deadlines unless the period "prescribed or allowed is less than 11 days." When the deadline falls on a weekend or holiday or day in which the office of the clerk is inaccessible due to "weather or other conditions," then the deadline is the next day not aforementioned.
