I've never heard of them, but it might help to break the words down.

The prefixes mono- and poly- mean "one" and "many" respectively. The root chronos means "time", so chronic means "having to do with time". So monochronic time would consist of a single time, and polychronic time would consist of many or several times.

Again, I do not know to what this pertains. It sounds to me like it could relate to time travel/ Science Fiction or perhaps a multiple time zone situation. If anyone else knows, feel free to delete all this.

Are Israelis punctual?

Answer 1About the same as everyone else.Answer 2Israelis are generally considered to be a relatively monochronic society, similar to European and Anglo-American societies. Israelis usually show up to events on time or fashionably late. By contrast, most Arab, African, and Latino societies are considered to by polychronic, where punctuality is not that important and people can arrive 30-60 minutes "late" to a meeting. Israelis, like Europeans and Anglo-Americans, are less punctual than Koreans and Japanese, who are very monochronic.
