It seems that the universe is really just energy in motion. I have my own logical beliefs for time in subjective reality but is there any objective explanations.

Though these are great answers they are all subjective, I'm not denying our own perception of time. Even special relativity deals with the human perception of time experienced by speed and distance.

Dr Know It ALL, I think you might want to learn what subjective reality is before you accuse someone of arrogance. You might be thinking of solipsism, meaning that you think you are the only person that is conscious.
Subjective and Objective realities don't conflict, it is the difference between what someone thinks is true and what is actually true in the physical universe.

There is no objective explanation of time thus far. Some speculate that time can't exist because neutrons actually dissapear from it for an immeasurable fraction of 'time' and otherwise re-appear....where they go could hold an answer.
Also, if existence is infinity, then there will never be an objective explanation of time because it can't exist in such a universe.

Since time doesn't seem to be energy or matter one can only conclude it is a mental construct made by man to label something observed but not necessarily real but a consequence of something real that we don't understand yet.
Of course we don't know what time is. No one has a clue. It just a mathematical construct and a subjective observation. If you ever do prove what time is you will get the Nobel Prize. And if somebody did figure that out they certainly won't tell you until they have collected that prize. lol

Time exist, but not as how we know it. Time is not bound because a clock gives us an hour and minute reading. I say this because how can any of us be sure its the year 2007? In short we cannot. And if any one would tell you otherwise with any degree of certainty, they would be very misguided.
There is a belief that future events have already occured, and we are constantly catching up to that moment. Time occurs outside of our present reality.

Yes time exists , and in a forward linear motion , a constant forward change of stillness or movement of an object or a nothing , the exact micro second of stillness moves forward in time that creates the past that can not be ever recreated , and a future that is not created yet if you are wondering what will happen lets say few minuets ahead of the exact moment of now , so time is always forward but it always starts on this micro second of the present now .

yes. it exists. there could be though a situation when time could be not important, but still exists. exemple, you're a guy whit no organised life, you live , or rather don't live:)) you are careless about what you should do and you do not do it. you go where you want when you want and time is not a problem for you because you don't have a workplace or something like that. is kind of the most free way of living. in that case , time doesn't matter, but it DOES exist.
my belief :)

time does not exist, motion from one event to another is what we measure. Time is also relative as Einstein proved depending on who is their to measure it and form what points. The way we view the world as having stopped and moved form one moment is an illusion there has never been a stable moment for us to say t1 and than later say t2 this dissection will go infinitely in both directions. the world is in perpetual change. we view moments falsely as having stable independent existence when they do not.
Time is an illusion we project it unto the world

Time is what we, as humans, use to measure life. We made it up since we first used our brains, but outside of our puny intellects there is no time.
I'm not sure if I am agreeing with you or opposing you...

Yes it does. Its a frequency ruled by and subjected to the confines of & interferences of gravity, (ie: one or more sources of magnetic flux.... the sun, moon etc etc etc as well as earths).

Time is like mathematics - an abstract creation of humanity. So, time does exist, but only because we invented it.
