Answer 1

Answer:

The notion of time is how we define what time is, and not everyone can easily articulate the concept of time because not everyone agrees what it is or it represents. Time could simply be the by-product of living in a cause-and-effect universe.

Dates are important, as they note when certain events happened. This is very important because history is recorded chronologically. It helps to know that one event happened before another event so that one can examine the relationship between events. Dates also serve to mark periods in history.
