Yes, time exists. It is what we measure our reality with.

you mean a system that distinguishes intervals at a certain instance, then time is actually what you believe it to be.

(variation of a Morpheus' quote, The Matrix)

Time is a complex subject still investigated through science and other realms of man's imagination. Its themes and concepts are also storylines and plots of our television shows and movies as a social effect.

Think about this. What would happen if everyone and everything in the world eliminated the idea of time by destroying every evidence of a clock form? Ancient cave men probably did not have a concept of time, so how did time advance for them? The Earth is constantly rotating on a central axis and therefore shows movement through time. What happens when everything stops moving but life still exits, then would time exist?

These and many other questions ignite a chain reaction of curiosity looping around into an infinity ring. I was caught up in this ring.

"On the upside, humans are so unadvanced when it comes to high-speed travel that the light-speed barrier doesn't even matter. Hell, just achieving one-100th the speed of light would be that greatest breakthrough in the millennium."-Dave Bauer Implosion, 1996 Time, period during which an action or event occurs; also, a dimension representing a succession of such actions or events. Time is one of the fundamental quantities of the physical world, being similar to length and mass in this respect. Three methods of measuring time are in use at present. The first two methods are based on the daily rotation of the earth on its axis. These methods are determined by the apparent motion of the sun in the sky (solar time) and by the apparent motion of the stars in the sky (sidereal time). The third method of measuring time is based on the revolution of the earth around the sun (ephemeris time).

Most people have understood that mathematics IS the language of the universe. In science and mathematics, an important relationship exists between these two idea. A greater area of intellect is created while at the same time an even greater area of the unknown is formed

I'm not sure what you mean by coincidental and noncoincidental and dont know why people seem unhappy with the question. According to the best scientific knowledge time doesnt flow at all. The entire spacetime bubble that is our universe exists all at once or not at all. Why we experience 'now' and a feeling that we are moving in to an uncertain future from a certain past are open questions in Physics. I'd recommend you hunt up a copy of Deutch's the Fabric of Reality or just read up on time online.

Physical time is, of course, a physical reality. There is an obvious division of events. This is demonstrated in our division of events into the past, present, and future. But, there is a cause for physical time. It is the basis of the physics trilogy of: E= mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. Notice that the only value in this trilogy that does not have the ability to change is the "c2" value. This value is the basis of both mass and energy. The last of the three, c2 = E/m, is that of a field of physical time, or that of a gravitational field - these two are the same. This singular value demonstrates the rapidity with which the present flows into the past, and it also shows that the duration of physical time is equal to that of the speed of light.

I see what you mean, it's only a word. But then again everything is just a word. If this 'time' didn't exist we (like mark said) would have nothing to measure reality with, and that would be very confusing!
I don't really care whether it exists or not, i just know i couldn't manage without it!

the following is love: study and study. a million Corinthians 13 (New global version) a million Corinthians 13 Love 1If I communicate contained in the tongues[a] of adult males and of angels, yet have not love, i'm in problem-free words an excellent gong or a clanging cymbal. 2If I somewhat have the present of prophecy and ought to fathom all mysteries and all expertise, and if I somewhat have a faith that can bypass mountains, yet have not love, i'm no longer something. 3If I provide all I own to the harmful and renounce my body to the flames,[b] yet have not love, I earnings no longer something. 4Love is affected individual, love is variety.

Now i comprehend partly; then I shall comprehend completely, on an same time as i'm completely common. 13And now those 3 proceed to be: faith, wish and love. even with the undeniable fact that the finest of those is love.

first of all there are book on this sort of thing that may interest you.

time as we know it is different than real time, real time is atomic time meaning the time it takes an atom to split

that is "supposed" to be a real second

since real time is associated with atoms and atoms react differently at higher altitudes then time in a skyscraper is faster than at ground level, but the clocks that we use do not reflect that

time is relative

If you mean "_does_ time exist?" then the answer is yes.
Otherwise everything would happen at once and it would all be frightfully confusing.
