Has mankind developed "time" as a measurement tool? Does time exist because "we" say it does? By rotation of the Earth time is calculated, because the Earth rotates does this establish time as absolute and only on Earth?

Example, the begining of what is, is the same "endless" continuation today. The very begining has not stopped to reset.

Ego"tism" has nothing to do with the the thought time. Time if one prefers to call it that, is only a reference to what was. From the begining of what is until now is the same period of existance. Begining and now knows only the same moment. We have choosen to category references of happenings by "time".

We Created it. And when WE'RE gone, -Time ceases to exist.

This would be a truly unjustified expression of egotism. Time existed before man measured it, or even existed. But it is meaningful to ask whether time and/or space were created as part of the process of creation of the physical universe, or whether they existed 'before' the universe. No, I don't have an answer for that one.

Time keeps everything from happening at once.
We didn't invent time as a measurement itself, we invented the hour/minute/second in order to measure time.
Now I'm confused.
