The age of a person can be counted differently in different cultures. This calculator is based on the most common age system. In this system, age increases on a person’s birthday. For example, the age of a person who has lived for 3 years and 11 months is 3, and their age will increase to 4 on their next birthday one month later. Most western countries use this age system.
In some cultures, age is expressed by counting years with or without including the current year. For example, a person who is twenty years old is the same age as another person who is in their twenty-first year of life. In one of the traditional Chinese age systems, people are born at age 1 and their age increases up at the Traditional Chinese New Year rather than their birthday. For example, if one baby is born just one day before the Traditional Chinese New Year, 2 days later, the baby will be 2 even though he/she is only 2 days old.
In some situations, the months and day result of this age calculator may be confusing, especially when the starting date is the end of a month. For example, we count Feb. 20 to Mar. 20 to be one month. However, there are two ways to calculate the age from Feb. 28, 2022 to Mar. 31, 2022. If we consider Feb. 28 to Mar. 28 to be one month, then the result is one month and 3 days. If we consider both Feb. 28 and Mar. 31 as the end of the month, then the result is one month. Both calculation results are reasonable. Similar situations exist for dates like Apr. 30 to May 31, May 30 to June 30, etc. The confusion comes from the uneven number of days in different months. In our calculations, we use the former method.
Use this calculator to add or subtract time (days, hours, minutes, seconds) from a starting time and date. The result will be the new time and date based on the subtracted or added period of time. To calculate the amount of time (days, hours, minutes, seconds) between times on two different dates, use the Time Duration Calculator.
There exist various concepts of time that have been postulated by different philosophers and scientists over an extensive period of human history. One of the earlier views was presented by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC), who defined time as “a number of movement in respect of the before and after.” Essentially, Aristotle’s view of time defined it as a measurement of change requiring the existence of some kind of motion or change. He also believed that time was infinite and continuous, and that the universe always did, and always will exist. Interestingly, he was also one of the first people, if not the first person, to frame the idea that time existing of two different kinds of non-existence makes time existing at all, questionable. Aristotle’s view is solely one amongst many in the discussion of time, the most controversial of which began with Sir Isaac Newton, and Gottfried Leibniz.
In Newton’s Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, Newton tackled the concepts of space and time as absolutes. He argued that absolute time exists and flows without any regard to external factors, and called this “duration.” According to Newton, absolute time can only be understood mathematically, since it is imperceptible. Relative time on the other hand, is what humans actually perceive and is a measurement of “duration” through the motion of objects, such as the sun and the moon. Newton’s realist view is sometimes referred to as Newtonian time.
Contrary to Newton’s assertions, Leibniz believed that time only makes sense in the presence of objects with which it can interact. According to Leibniz, time is nothing more than a concept similar to space and numbers that allows humans to compare and sequence events. Within this argument, known as relational time, time itself cannot be measured. It is simply the way in which humans subjectively perceive and sequence the objects, events, and experiences accumulated throughout their lifetimes.

One of the prominent arguments that arose from the correspondence between Newton’s spokesman Samuel Clarke and Leibniz is referred to as the bucket argument, or Newton’s bucket. In this argument, water in a bucket hanging stationary from a rope begins with a flat surface, which becomes concave as the water and bucket are made to spin. If the bucket’s rotation is then stopped, the water remains concave during the period it continues to spin. Since this example showed that the concavity of the water was not based on an interaction between the bucket and the water, Newton claimed that the water was rotating in relation to a third entity, absolute space. He argued that absolute space was necessary in order to account for cases where a relationalist perspective could not fully explain an object’s rotation and acceleration. Despite Leibniz’s efforts, this Newtonian concept of physics remained prevalent for nearly two centuries.
