Time is a dimension. If you place an object on a table and then move it a minute later it will still be on the table a minute ago. Just as height, length, and width are dimensions because they help to locate an object so is time because it establishes when an object was in that location.

I don't think that "Time" exists at all.
I think that the concept of "Time" is a man-made concept to give us a sense of order and structure to the assemblage of events in a chronological manner.

Yes time exists!
It is linked to space: t=d/v
if you shrink space time "accelerates"
If you stretch space, it slows down
It can be defined as a frequency: t=1/f
Time is a movement of space, our universe's expansion!
Edit: I gave a thumb up to Diogeneses, I think he has the best answer!

Time is a concept created by our minds to explain why things change. Einstein said it is connected to speed and light.

It is an Ideal that has no substantive reflection/quotient so, no ...it does not exist as a 'thing' other then the thought of it in your mind, and the "metering of motion" that is what a clock does.

Yes, because we can measure it. It agree it is relative to our frame of reference, but so are most other things.

Nope. It is a made up concept. There would not be time without man.

time exsists for as long as you are dead, and it stops when you become alive.
