So where did time begin and what was the first way of keeping track of it ? Without getting into any political or religious discussions, how about we just agree that time began … well, at the beginning of time … in whatever way YOU view that to have occurred.

So what was the first way to keep track of time ? Sundials, water-clocks ? I think not. The interesting thing here is that every living organism has this time keeper and no, your favorite watch brand has not figured out how to sell to single cell organisms LOL. The first time keeper … the Circadian Clock (click on the picture for a better view), the “clock” inside you … the one that lets you know that it is time to eat, sleep, work or a myriad of other activities.  So if this innate quality works so well why did we become so obsessed with other methods of tracking time ?  Well, the answer is that your Circadian Clock doesn’t work so well all the time.  Its “accuracy” is subject to all the vicissitudes of your life.  So now that we have established the first “time piece”, as inaccurate as it may be,  we can talk about what came next in future posts
