Time
Origin: Lat. tempus
Is a key concept in futures studies though generally understudied or problematized. Is time real, or a byproduct of biology? Does time "flow" or do we flow through time? And many other questions are unasked and unanswered but seem central to any study of images of "the future".
Spanish: Tiempo
