Wow i love this subject.. do you mean time itself?
that is a hard thing to explain. But time is very perplexing... Time is a unit of measurement and is caused by the rotation (sometimes) and it could lead to our ultimate demise...lol

At the moment a definite answer can't be given on this question. Many a physicist would incline to Newton's objective (measurable) view on time, while others consider it a place we can "flow" through and is only measurable in subjective, human ways, but is rather a still container of events. Both views consider it as a fundamental structure of the universe, a part of it.
One of the few sciences that include a view on time as having a specific direction (away from the Big Bang) is thermodynamics, which states that entropy must increase over time. This view is called an "arrow of time".

Not according to current thinking, but there is a relationship. The directionality of time (the perception that it is progressing from a well defined past to an undetermined future) is deeply rooted in the low entropy of the initial conditions of the universe.
