Henri Bergson on Time
"I was with Einstein last night, and let's just say he understood a thing or two about how long it takes for two separate bodies interact in space and time."
For Henri Bergson, there was a big distinction between time as measured by scientists (which uses motion through space to measure it) and time as experienced by human beings, which he called duration. For him, this couldn't be measured scientifically, couldn't be broken down into discreet moments, and could only be experienced. Furthermore, he emphasizes that the past and future are only imaginary states that exist in the present as thoughts, so in reality the only thing that exists is our experience of time in the present.
