Proposal for a University Department for 'The Study Of Time'

Time is the most used noun in the English language according to the Concise Oxford English Dictionary. This is probably true for most other languages as well. Time is critical to everything we do as individuals, as nations, and as human beings who inhabit the Earth. Yet there are virtually no University departments or courses that deal with the human experience of time. This paper proposes that such a department be established and suggests topics and areas of study that need to be included. Suggestions are based on my blog DeconstructingTime now in its fifth years, with more than 70 blog-essays, almost 50,000 page views from more than 100 countries. Much of this work is also available at my site at figshare.com in eBook or in individual papers.
