Abstract

In this article the evolution of the concept of time in science is analyzes. Time as an elementary concept that is formed in our mind simply because of our existence, and that allows us to order events, has turned out to be one of the most mysterious and difficult to understand. Time was introduced by Newton in science as an absolute parameter that is not affected by anything, using it as a mathematical resource to describe the phenomena of nature. Later, Einstein would find that time is not an absolute quantity but depends on the observer that measure it. Time, which seems to flow as a continuum, could be discrete. Furthermore, it is possible that the past, which we believe to be something that ceased to exist, can be revisited with the possibility of time travel.
