In physics, the treatment of time is a central issue.
It has been treated as a question of geometry.
One can measure time and treat it as a geometrical dimension, such as length, and perform mathematical operations on it.
It is a scalar quantity and, like length, mass, and charge, is usually listed in most physics books as a fundamental quantity.
Time can be combined mathematically with other fundamental quantities to derive other concepts such as motion, energy and fields.
Time is largely defined by its measurement in physics.
