Summary/Abstract: The article discusses concerns against Percy W. Bridgman’s operationalism raised within the last few decades and analyses possibilities of defining the operational definition of time in classical and quantum mechanics. Although it seems unproblematic in the classical case, in quantum mechanics, this task seems to be impossible. It leads to a major question of whether quantum mechanics and operationalism can be reconciled.
