What would a tree fell in the forest sound like if there were no one to hear it?
If you take a turn into street do things still happen behind you round the corner? If you close you eyes does light still exist? And does God exist because there are people who believe in Him? These questions and questions like these call into question the authenticity of observation – is it objective or subjective? Do things happen because we experience them through our senses? And, does everything exist because we do?
Time is the sound of existence when viewed through physical medium for observation. A train is a train either it is in motion or it is standing still at a platform, but the purpose of train is not only to be standing but also to be moving along the tracks of its designated routes. Everything in this universe, like a train, is set in motion, journeying towards destinations unknown, and yet we are certain that there are solid tracks upon which a train fairies.
But if we model an ideal train upon an ideally smooth rails, if we close all the windows and make sure the train goes at a constant speed in a straight line, we would not feel the motion. It is only when we open a window onto the scenes running past we realise that we are in motion. We sense time as we see a multitude of things, both inside our mind and outside, changing – all things change at an atomic speed but all things express thing change differently: an apple tree, for instance, could grow faster than the rusting of an iron bar.
There would be no time it there were no matter upon which it applies, or more correctly speaking of which it is an expression of. If we are no longer in physically conscious of the world the consciences of time will also be no more. And if we are endowed with some supreme consciousness that last ever when our physical awareness goes then we would be in some other reality in existence.

"What is the time?" has been a question asked by most of philosophers and scientists in the world.
According to Mr. Stephen Howking in his Brief History of Time, it didn't exist when there was no universe (before Big Bang), as nothing existed then. Mr. Howking then extends this view, asking what was before the Big Bang? But if you are interested you should read it yourself.
Everybody on earth perceive the time, and everybody is doing it in a different way (as time IS relative). When you die your perception of this world disappears as well. When you can't observe the time it doesn't exist for you. But when you die it doesn't mean that the whole world will die to. Time will be observable as long as the univers exists.

verbalised statements about reality can never be presumed to be the reality itself. time is an intellecetual construct and our understanding of it is not valuable ( or right ) even in other locations within the universe - time is not a constant.
the death of one man or even all men will not affect the realities from which time is derived like the density of the inside of a black hole nor the linear nature this calm corner of the galaxy
this question is a great one to ask as the asking leads to excellent new questions.

Read the book "Saved By the Light" by Danion Brinkly. It's a true story of a man who was hit by lightning and was pronounced dead...yet he tells of his ''near death'' experience with God. Then he was sent back into his body to help others...but at that point in time, as he re-entered his body, he was covered in a sheet and was being taken to the morgue. He couldn't move or even speak because of the damage that the bolt of lightning that hit him had done, so the only thing he could think of to let the guys know that he was still alive, was to blow air out of his mouth and the sheet moved and the morgue guys were shocked to see that he came back to life. You see why I don't want to get cremated...what if God sends me back at the time of my cremation.? That would be MY LUCK!

Once you're dead you stop perceiving time. We have no time now so we cannot take time to the grave. We merely pass through time, and it exists with or without us.

Depends if you have a salopsist view point. ie that only you exist and all else is a creation in your existance.
Hear about the salopsist bank robber? said "ok put all the money in the bag or i will shoot myself and kill us all!"

We each have our own personal 'time'. If you travelled at very high speed as the astronauts did on the Apollo missions, it has been demonstrated that time for them passed at a different speed than for the rest of us on earth.
When an individual dies, his personal 'time' dies with him.

I don't think it does, like have you ever fell asleep and thought you just closed your eyes for a second but it turns out to be hours? I think it's like that, people close their eyes just for a mo and then wake up to find a hundred thousand years have passed!
