Sometimes I move fast, Sometimes I move slow; But my speed is truly constant, And nowhere I go. What am I?
Common Wrong Answers
“A car”
A car can move fast or slow, but its speed is not constant and it goes to various destinations.
“A river”
While a river can flow at different speeds, it also has a physical location and moves through space, unlike time which is abstract.
“A clock”
A clock measures time and can move its hands at a constant speed, but it is an object that exists in a physical space, unlike the concept of time itself.
