Time is irrelevant, it only exists on Earth. It does not exist in Space. Look up into the sky tonight and you may see a star shinning bright which has actually died thousands of years ago. This happens because by the time the light catches up to you (light years) the star has already burned out long before, but may continue to cast it's light. It is basically a system we use on Earth to run things in a balanced system to keep track of days, months, seasons, and years.

Time in its simplist derivation is the ratio of distance over rate. Thus it is an expression of space which we call distance. If time is reduced to zero, i.e. space is zero, then you have the mono bloc before the big bang.

Time is a numerical measurement by which we live. And though we cannot see it, feel it, or taste it, we know it's there.
