Idea

:
No. What I am saying is that without time, things would not progress. Nothing would change at all. Total halt. Except you can't even imagine what that would be like, because you imagine it like pausing a video, where you are an external observer still subject to time. Without time there is not even a timeline. If things are changing, moving, flowing, there must be at least one dimension of time through which three-dimensional space is moving.
what actually is time then? you cant see it under a microscope, you cant feel it, you obviously cant see it, why is it not possible that time is something that we have created ourselves?

you said yourself:
:
Are you also going to suggest that length, width and height do not exist, only the tape measure?
these are actually things humans have created to help them, its just that all this stuff was done so early in time (ironic), and so subtly, that we haven't even noticed. time was obviously not invented, time was not discovered (due to the theory that its all around us and is us, and has been so since the BEGINNING OF TIME, therefore would be hard not to notice), this means that we can only measure time (like Height, Width, etc).

i think we're getting confused with the neccessities of something that exists. measurements do not actually exist, just the ruler and tape measure. same goes for time. also, if time does exist, and is not something created by man or maybe animals, whats jetlag all about? if it really does exist and is a natural source, then it shouldnt fault (lags, jumps ahead, putting clocks backwords and forwards, travelling into future/past). seasons exist and are natural, but if i close my eyes, hold my nose, and say "beejillywhizz" during summer, it doesn't suddenly skip to winter (or more 'turn' into winter).

therefore the measurement we use to 'measure' time is unreliable, meaning we do not fully understand time and cannot measure it correctly, which then begs the question: does it even soddin' exist?!?

there will be no resolve to this conundrum 'till a being not from this planet/dimension, of level or better intelligence than our own, turns up and says "yeah, its 5 o'clock back home", showing its acknowledgement of time.
time is the limit of our intelligence, breaking that limit is impossible (which may sound ignorant).
