Who invented time??
Time was not invented, at least not in the conventional sense. In fact, time does not exist at all, not in any way. Time is merely a convention of thought and conversation. If time actually existed, it could be measured and quantified by something that cannot be suspended.
"Time" is one of mans earliest discoveries. Observation indicated that events followed in order - Spring Summer Fall Winter. Crops grew after he Spring Equinox. Moon and tides were in tune. Everyday if we waited on the canyon walls the mammoths would pass below us when the sun was highest and we'd be able to bag one. So although we didn't event it we observed it and we used it from our earliest days.
Who invented Clock??
Not until somewhat recently (that is, in terms of human history) did people find a need for knowing the time of day. As best we know, 5000 to 6000 years ago great civilizations in the Middle East and North Africa began to make clocks to augment their calendars. With their attendant bureaucracies, formal religions, and other burgeoning societal activities, these cultures apparently found a need to organize their time more efficiently.
