Your need might not be met. It's actually a deep question, and probably no one knows the answer. The Planck time (see reference) is considered to be the quantum unit of the passage of time. I consider it to be somewhat arbitrary, less fundamental than the Planck length, but that's opinion. Relativity gave us new insights into time. Even that doesn't tell us how it passes. And we thought we knew everything, when we can't even say how or why time passes.

Time is a very arbitrary measure. What are you talking about specifically? After all, time is just a relative measure made between two points. For someone traveling at high velocities the same "time" actually goes faster than it does for someone at a different velocity. So, what are you asking for?

It is very hard to define "time". We can sense the passage of time. Any scientific measurement of time requires some kind of clock that operates reliably.

Time is relative, oh, that is so cliche. But it's true. It depends on how fast your going because thee is no external point of reference.
