Abstract
We show that by the act of quantum measurement on a system there emerges a notion of duration and a corresponding time flow which turns out to be the thermal flow connected to the system. We show that, under some quasi-classical assumptions on the observer, this flow shows relevant properties of empirical time and some interesting consequences for Special Relativity are drawn.
