ya time is measure of humans to measure the duration of day and night. earlier people did not have a regularity in life. time was brought to bring in a regularity and routine in life. to know when to do what and tobe peaceful, people invented time. i mean they divided the day and night into 24 hrs, then in to 60 mins and then into 60 seconds.

No more than a measure of distance or weight. The units of time are a manmade unit though. The ancient egyptians thought that the sun had to go through 12 gates of hell when it set to when it rose in the morning. Since the length of the day was similar to the length of the night it was the full day/night cycle was divided into 24. Minutes and seconds came much later

Clocks, and calendars were invented to measure time.
Duration would be a better word for what you're talking about. Clocks quantify the quality of duration. Time is the quality, duration is the quantity. The units of quantity were invented, as were units of length (length quantifies the quality of volume) and mass (mass quantifies the quality of matter).
Length, mass, and duration are the fundamental dimensions of reality. The mathematical relationship between these three, define power (power is a quantity invented to calculate the progress of work).
Reality, and work are meaningless, without the quality of purpose. We can only estimate the quantity of purpose to be infinite. (Faith is the quantity invented to measure purpose) maybe....

Time was created by big bang, and is the measurement of distance from that point on. We as life are actually manifestation of memory of time.

interesting question... what where you smoking when you thought of it? lol.
i have to say humans created "keeping track" of time... and it is just a "label" put on an already existing phenomenon.. but w/ the advent of language, humans have done that to most everything. my mom used to say , "time waites for no man"

We can't possibly create time. Time was made before us, we just try to understand it. How can you say we create it?

yes, Just like "creation"
Think about it. We made up "creation".
Stuff may have always been here in one form or another.
All we do is shape it into things.

Untrue. We measure time, we chop it up into little arbitrary bits, but it would be here whether we were here to measure it or not.
