If time is just a measurement , how can it be a thing. if a time machine is possible, even at the smallist percentage....well a time machine is a way to bend time. if you can "bend" time and you cant "bend" any other measurement, how can it be a "thing"?

Time is actually not bent. It is space-time that is bent. Time is a dimension. There are four physical dimensions that have been made so far, shich can be summarized as length, height, depth and time, or in math, x, y, z, and time. These make up space time, space being the xyz and time being, well, time. All four of which can be bent. I'm sorry, but I can't explain more. I haven't been able to research this much.

time is the 4th dimension.like the other dimensions,it can be measured but isn't in its self a measur.height,withe,and depth aren't really material in the truest sens of the word,they are space itself
time and space are "interwoven" in "space time".as with moving throe space, you move throe time at 1 second per second,time is just not tangible.
time doesn't "bend" it dilates.in the same way,space warps.
an experiment showed that the gravity of the sun bent the coarse of light coming from a star.this happened because the gravity "bent" the first 3 dimensions.so even though the dimensions aren't "things" the can still be manipulated.
in another experiment,an atomic clock wus put on a moving plane.the time of that clock slowed down because of dilation or"bending"

Well first of all, time travel is, at best, only theoretically possible. And when you say bend, you don't use it in the literal, physical sense. I think it's more of a figurative expression.

In my personal opinion, time is merely a psychological construct developed by us mere mortals in order to keep things within our personal purview of what we consider "reality". It could be as simple as another dimension just like the 3 known spatial dimensions. In other words, just another direction like up, down, left, right, forwards, and backwards. It's all just a matter of perspective when you boil it down to simple terms.

first thing you have to do is destroy time. there is no such thing as time. time is a manmade device. you would need something more plausabe to bend or work with. that would be antimatter, though never found to exsist, physics tell us it does. for everything has its opposite. and that might be are key to unlocking " time " itself.

Time is an artifact of the human brain. It is the result of our memory. If we had no memory, then there would be no concept of time.
