The integer on your ID is a rounded view of a continuous quantity. The real number ticks 86,400 times per day.
Six months past a birthday you're not "still 34" — you're 34.50. By the eve of your next birthday you're 34.997. The integer always trails the truth.
Time moves at exactly one second per second. The live seconds counter demonstrates this in the most literal way.
