The relationship between 'information' and 'time' is explored in order to look for a 'solution' to the 'Problem of Time'. 'Time' is found to be the result of the conversion of energy into 'information'. The 'time' number or label we assign to 'events' can be manufactured by processing information 'flowing' from a Feynman Clock (FC), via a 'signal', to a Feynman Detector (FD) in causal networks. Macroscopic arrows of time are built from the irreversible Quantum Arrow of Time (QAT) associated with unstable or excited states of quantum systems. The QAT is shown to be connected to the thermodynamic arrow of time. Collective Excitations, and causal networks provide a means for understanding 'time' in complex systems. The ordered set of the 'time' numbers labeling 'events' can be used to construct the 'direction' and 'dimension' associated with the usual conception of a 'time' axis or 'time' coordinate in quantum, classical and realtivistic mechanics.
