Life. Space. Of course, if there was no time, there was truly nothing, because, theoretically, if time doesn't move forward, everything has stopped.
P.S. PEOPLE, IT'S A RIDDLE!!!! YOU REMEMBER THE RIDDLER, FROM BATMAN, THE THINGS HE SAID, THEY WERE RIDDLES, THIS IS A RIDDLE!!!

shadow clock or sundial came into use around 1500 B.C. to measure the passage of "hours." This clock was oriented east and west in the morning. An elevated crossbar cast a moving shadow on the "hour" markers. At midday, Egyptians turned the device in the opposite direction to measure the afternoon "hours."
The ancient Egyptians even learned to keep track of time at night. An instrument called a merkhet was developed in 600 B.C. It is the oldest known astrometrical tool, which is a tool to measure the positions, movements and distances of planets and stars. Egyptians lined up a pair of merkhets with a certain star, called the Pole Star, to establish a north-south line. The Egyptians used the merkhets to mark off nighttime hours by determining when other stars crossed the meridian.

well, for one, a "clock" wasnt the first time mechanism. the azteks used the stairs on their temples as a form of keeping up time. indians in the u.s. used shadow changes to keep up with the time. we really dont know how far back humans have come up with things to use... so no, noone can really tell you. cause the further back from the azteks you go, the more cavemen-ish humans are and they werent smart enough then to come up with anything to worry about the segments in a day.

lol. A clock is a human's perception of keeping track of an abstract entity. Time, like you hinted, doesn't have a concrete definition. Instead, it is a measure of the change in entropy in the universe.

Time is nature's solution to all things happening at once. All the rest is relative
