n
(chiefly science fiction) A hypothetical device used to travel into the past or the future.
n

n
Alternative form of timestream [(science fiction, mythology) A metaphorical conception of time as a stream, or flowing body of water.]
n
(Taylorism) A direct and continuous observation of a task, using a timekeeping device to record the time taken to accomplish the task.
n

Alternative form of timekeeping [The measurement of time, or determining what the local time is.]
n
alternative form of time scale [A series of events used as a rough measure of duration.]
n
(computing) The functionality of a timeserver.
n
Alternative spelling of timestamp [(computing) A variable containing the date and time at which an event occurred, often included in a log to track the sequence of events.]
n
(television, electronics) A time period used as a base measurement or frequency.

(transitive) To mark with time codes.
n
Alternative spelling of time frame [The period of time during which something is expected to occur, or does occur.]

n
(science fiction) A disturbance in the flow of time.
n
Alternative spelling of time scale [A series of events used as a rough measure of duration.]
n

n
(countable) An instance of recording the time of something.
n
(computing) The actual time of day, as would be seen on a wall clock; contrasted with the (possibly inaccurate) time according to a computer system.
