Futures & Foresight Science, 2025, vol. 7, issue 1

Abstract: Futurists are, by definition, interested in the future. Futurists, therefore, work with time. But how does time manifest itself in various domains? The laws of nature, historical inventions and chain of events, international agreements, and cultural and religious beliefs affect the way we see and handle time. Time also appears in our bodies and cells, as we have biological clocks that keep time. The sense of time is affected by our senses, psychological situation, and for example by chemicals. This article continues the work of Virmajoki and Laakkonen and their concept: time‐need. Virmajoki and Laakkonen discuss time‐need in their article with a case study of railways. This article will focus on another practical example, warfare, and how time manifests itself in it. The article presents the holistic framework of time for warfare, with various levels of time that affect war and a soldier.
