Abstract
The plan of our paper is as follows. First, we shall analyze the relation of so-called time separation. Then, we shall use this relation to construct a definition of time and definitions of non-present and present. Finally, we shall consider the possible application of the conception of time separation. Our analysis is carried out in the framework of the Special Theory of Relativity (STR).
