Vrijeme je fizička veličina i jedna od sedam osnovnih veličina SI sistema. Prema istom sistemu mjernih jedinica, jedinica za vrijeme je sekunda (1 s) dok je oznaka za vrijeme t.

Kroz historiju, pojam vremena je dugo bio važan predmet proučavanja u različitim oblastima ljudskog djelovanja, u religiji, filozofiji i nauci ali je definisanje jedinstvene definicije vremena koja bi se koristila u svim oblastima konstantno predstavljala probem naučnicima.

Vrijeme je kontinuirani slijed postojanja i događaja koji se dešavaju u naizgled nepovratnom slijedu iz prošlosti, preko sadašnjosti, u budućnost.^[1][2][3] To je komponentna količine različitih mjerenja koja se koristi za slijed događaja, za poređenje trajanja događaja ili intervala između njih i za kvantificiranje stopa promjene količina u materijalnoj stvarnosti ili u svjesnom iskustvu.^[4][5][6][7] Vrijeme se često naziva četvrtom dimenzijom, zajedno sa tri prostorne dimenzije.^[8][9]

Vrijeme je jedna od sedam osnovnih fizičkih veličina u Međunarodnom sistemu jedinica (SI) i Međunarodnom sistemu veličina. Osnovna jedinica vremena SI je sekunda, koja se definira mjerenjem elektronske prijelazne frekvencije atoma cezijuma. Opšta teorija relativnosti je primarni okvir za razumijevanje kako prostor-vrijeme funkcionira.^[10] Kroz napredak u teorijskim i eksperimentalnim istraživanjima prostor-vremena, pokazalo se da vrijeme može biti iskrivljeno i prošireno, posebno na rubovima crnih rupa.

Tokom historije, vrijeme je bilo važan predmet proučavanja u religiji, filozofiji i nauci. Mjerenje vremena okupiralo je naučnike i tehnologe i bilo je glavna motivacija u navigaciji i astronomiji. Vrijeme je također od značajnog društvenog značaja, ima ekonomsku vrijednost („vrijeme je novac“) kao i ličnu vrijednost, zbog svijesti o ograničenom vremenu u svakom danu iu životnom vijeku ljudi.

Sekunda je prvobitno definisana kao 86400-ti dio prosječnog sunčevog dana. Danas se prema SI sistemu sekunda definiše kao: trajanje od 9192631770 perioda zračenja, koje odgovara prijelazu između dva hiperfina nivoa osnovnog stanja atoma cezijuma 133Cs.

The continuous passage of existence in which events pass from a state of potentiality in the future, through the present, to a state of finality in the past. 2. physics a quantity measuring duration, usually with reference to a periodic process such as the rotation of the earth or the frequency of electromagnetic radiation emitted from certain atoms. In classical mechanics, time is absolute in the sense that the time of an event is independent of the observer. According to the theory of relativity it depends on the observer's frame of reference. Time is considered as a fourth coordinate required, along with three spatial coordinates, to specify an event.

In special relativity, ct (where c is the speed of light and t is time), plays the role of a fourth dimension.

6. ^ * "Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy". 2010. Arhivirano s originala, 11. 4. 2011. Pristupljeno 9. 4. 2011. Time is what clocks measure. We use time to place events in sequence one after the other, and we use time to compare how long events last... Among philosophers of physics, the most popular short answer to the question "What is physical time?" is that it is not a substance or object but rather a special system of relations among instantaneous events. This working definition is offered by Adolf Grünbaum who applies the contemporary mathematical theory of continuity to physical processes, and he says time is a linear continuum of instants and is a distinguished one-dimensional sub-space of four-dimensional spacetime.
