Time is an immutable force that has changed the fabric of society to this day. As Galileo said: “Measure what is measurable and make measurable what is not.” (Galileo 1-5.) This means that everything is supposed to be measured, including time. Businesses need certain characteristics to succeed; the most important of these is keeping accurate time measurements, which create organized schedules for building a successful business. (Galileo.) The first time time was measured in the simplest way was in BCE with sundials. It wasn't until Galileo decided to measure time more than just looking at the sun to determine the time of day. Galileo came up with the idea of ​​the pendulum, a device used to measure time. Although the pendulum is not very accurate, the very idea of ​​having one started the time revolution. The pendulum works by using gravity to propel the object from side to side keeping a constant beat, the ticking you hear in a clock is usually caused by one of these pendulums. As more and more scientists began tinkering with the concept of time, its accuracy improved dramatically, shortly after business began to boom and the first idea of ​​capitalism was created. One of the very first portable “timekeeping instruments” known today as a watch was created in 1504 by a German named Peter Henlein. Even though this watch wasn't very accurate, it was the pioneer of something that almost all human beings use on a daily basis. The very first minute hand to make clocks even more accurate was invented in 1577 by a man named Jost Burgi (insert quote here). Around this time, larger and larger businesses emerged and people began to plan and organize their lives much more. (Gascoigne: Matthews.)
