Abstract
My aim in this review is to describe the three main concepts of time which have been and still are used in physics viz the time concepts of Newtonian physics of Einstein’s special theory of relativity and of his general theory of spacetime and gravitation In physics the concept of time serves to describe qualitatively and quantitatively natural processes such as motions of bodies propagation of waves and fields and causal dependences between events It is closely indeed inseparably related to notions of space and therefore the following account concerns spacetime with special emphasis on the role of time as a substructure of the more encompassing and in not only my view more fundamental spacetime structure
