Yes, time exists. We define it with our system based on the time it takes our planet to rotate and make a complete orbit around the sun. The measurements relate directly to us. It can be measured and defined in different terms if desired.
The bottom line is that time exists and is linked to space in that to travel from point A to point B in space, it takes a finite amount of time, T. Even the hypothetical fastest speed, light, requires time to travel from point A to point B.
There is no clock, however, at the center of the universe ticking away.

Yes -- Does night turn into day and back into night again? Sometimes we are in a moment that is so enjoyable that we would wish that time could stand still. Have you are been traveling to go somewhere and it seem like it takes forever? But, then the next day, or hours later, you are traveling back to where you came from and it seems that it took no time at all. Here's another one -- you're at work and it is so boring because there is nothing to do and it feels like it's the longest day, but then on the other hand you are busy as a bee and the day goes by fast. Time is what you make of it. Time can stand still for just a thought or a moment, other times it goes by really fast or really slow. But, what you are making of any of those moments is what is important. I always wished that I could travel back in time and hug those that I loved and lost one more time and tell them how much they meant to me and how much they were loved.

Yes. Even if it's not recorded, time is still existing. We made up a way to calculate time.. But even without that... Time would still exist. Even if everything paused.. There is a certain amount of time that everything was on pause for.

Hi. Yes. It is a one way dimension through which we all travel. If it did not exist no one could answer your question because they would not have time to think about it.

Yes, it's a part of the fabric of space, as in space and time are woven in the same fabric. It does not "flow in a direction" and its passage is relative to ones speed.

time does not in fact exist

Try showing up late for work or for school and see how that premise goes over.

We all have a certain time to live, so in that sense, yes.

Yes, it can be seen as a continuous data collection. It is divisible and still sensable
