Time doesn't exist. It is just our perception of energy passing from one point to another.

Time does not exist to him who thinks on a spiritual level... but to the physical man, he is limited to time because he exists as one of its puzzle pieces.......

You are about 70 years too late. Einstein beat you to it if you remove "our perception of" from your question's text.

Spacetime is a continuum in which we can define points and straight lines. However, these points and lines do not satisfy the principles of Euclidean geometry when matter is present.
Einstein showed that the presence of matter affects geometry by warping space and time. Einstein's principal equation in his general theory of relativity implies that the curvature of spacetime is directly proportional to the density of mass in the spacetime.
That is, Einstein says the structure of spacetime changes as matter moves because the gravitational field from matter actually curves spacetime.
I like your question, though. It means that you are a thinker! The world needs more thinkers...
Too many "do-ers" and not enough "thinkers".

It's a time continuum which is used to measure these changes of energy passing from one point to the next through space. Objects of relativity change frequently and the way to measure these changes lies on a time continuum represented in one form or another

Which calender is the true one? How long is an hour? Time is a concept agreed upon by all beings for so long, now the concept of time is no longer questioned. Similar to when people believed the world was flat. Once not so long ago, the world was the center of the universe.

Remove the perception bit and we are talking Einsteins physics, energy (speed of light) is constant time is elastic.

It exist in the world of 'dualism' which is but an unenlightened state of consciousness. The Reality of 'Oneness' is Truth and there is no time in that state of consciousness.

Let's get down to basics.
You say "time" does not exist. But then you say that "it" (time) is in fact something.
If "it" (time) doesn't exist, then there's really nothing to discuss on the subject...right?
I think what you're really trying to say is: "Here's my 9-word definition for time".
Bottom line: Time does exist.

exactly. but then, the alternative view or description of what is going on is a bit more frustrating... especially for counting...
Time is just a measurement technique.
Time is the Ravenous Snake eating the present... desiring the future.

Time does exist it is natures way of keeping things organized.

you still have to think on a grander scheme to get out of time. Energy moving=an amount of time.movement is measured in time units. google 'Heisenberg uncertainty principal' you might be interested.....chow
