in other words, is time totally unreal or does it apply to everything constant, even fractions and nano applications?

Time does exist, but not in the manner which we measure it. It is much grander. Consider this, if you had people living on another planet earth, that had years that were 20 years long by OUR standards, then they could live far longer than us, but still probably die at their age of 80 or so, but really be 1100 or even 1600 years old in our time. We have been genetically predisposed to feel time pass in the manner in which we observe it.
Observation is the key, since sensory deprivation is a torture that does not allow any means of time to reach your senses, in a manner of speaking, and so you feel that hours or even days have passed when it has only been a few minutes.
Time isn't an illusion, it is only a matter a perception how you view it.
You also cannot say that it is an infinite stream of measuring evolution because evolution is measured by us using our standard of time as it exists today. Evolution, cannot exist outside our knowledge of 'time' because it is only known in our time frame.

I interpret by the contrary. Time is particularly real if we stand at the closed door of a bathroom. It is not an illusion what could happen to us.
