Time constants are used in order to define time.

Without any use of any time constants, we would not have any way of telling the time. We would not be able to have a calendar. The world would grow towards chaos. At least the world as we know it.

Time constants today define gamma radiation, x-rays, color of light, radio waves, computer speed, sound waves, seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, decades, centuries, millennium and much more that I can't think of at the moment.

Time constants today define our way of living.

We relate many things to time. Some of these are energy, speed and distance.

Time constants define degradation of various materials.

On a large scale, they define the universe itself.
