Discussion

What is time?

Is it possible to measure time?

How fast does time pass? Why does it sometimes seem to go by faster or slower?

Can you actually waste the time?

Can you actually lose the time?

Does time flow different for children and adults? Is it true that it goes by faster as you get older?

Is it possible to save time 'for later use'?

Is it possible to store and sell 'dreams'?

Inspiration

Momo, also known as The Grey Gentlemen or The Men in Grey, is a fantasy novel by Michael Ende, published in 1973. It is about the concept of time and how it is used by humans in modern societies. The full title in German translates to Momo, or the strange story of the time-thieves and the child who brought the stolen time back to the people.
