Time can be seen as a measure of change. If everything was utterly stationary, time would have no meaning. It is only because thing do change that the concept of time arises.

From a scientific point of view and according to some of the latest scientific theories, time began with the Big Bang. Stephen Hawking has commented that statements about what happened "before" time began are self-contradictory, and thus without meaning. Other theorists have contended that even if there were another time frame "before" the Big Bang, no information from events then would be accessible to us. Scientists have come to some agreement on descriptions of events that happened 10^-35 seconds after the Big Bang, but generally agree that descriptions about what happened before one Planck time after the Big Bang will likely remain pure speculations.
To my understanding, time is an illusion. It is the trap that Adam fell into when he disobeyed God, which resulted in making him experience its deceptive reality and live within its boundary. It is exactly like when some one is sentenced to be bound into a certain space and thus has to do time. The term doing time is exactly what some body says when he is put in jail. It is also can be explained like being fell from hyper space into our existing space and thus became trapped with all its limitations. I think man is released and freed from this illusion after his death. It is obvious that all mankind experience has not been able to give a true and vivid definition of time heretofore.

'Time' separates events into what we call past, present, and future. However, there's actually no such THING as time -- time is not a NATURAL feature of our universe. If time was an actual phenomenon that would require that some 'where' there would have to be a kind of Cosmic Master Clock that kept the correct time for the entire universe. Time is strictly relative, like it's now 8:15 am on the West Coast, but in New York City it's 11:15 am. So which one of those two times is right according to the Cosmic Master Clock? Think about it : )

I'll tell you what physical time is, then you may make the application as to duration and specific value.
Physical time is a particular velocity. It is that of the speed of light. The reason this value is that of time, is that mass is composed of electromagnetic energy. This may be seen in the physics trilogy: E = mc2, m = E/c2, and c2 = E/m. The singular value that does not change is that of the "c2" one. We are composed of this value, and it is for this reason that present time becomes the past at the rate it does.
Physical time also has a specific value in duration. That value is known as the "chronon", this being the diameter of an electron. I would also add that it is one complete electron wave. http://360.yahoo.com/noddarc has a few short writings concerning physical time and its duration. One is "The Problem and Repair of Relativity" and the other "Gravity and Magnetism". You'll have to scroll down to find them.

Time may be defined as the separation of events - just as space can be defined as the separation of objects. Whilst, as the previous respondent says, there is no such THING as time, it could equally well be said that there is no such THING as space. Both, however, are indispensable concepts.
