I have gathered the following from “Time Wikipedia”. It may be relevant in the context of our discussions.
“Two distinct views exist on the meaning of time. One view is that time is part of the fundamental structure of the universe, a dimension in which events occur in sequence. This is the realist view to which Isaac Newton subscribed, in which time itself is something that can be measured.
“A contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental intellectual (together with space and number) within which we sequence events, quantify the duration of events and the intervals between them, and compare motions of objects. In this view time does not refer to any kind of entity that “flows”, that objects move through, or that is a “container'” for events. This view is in the tradition of Gottfried Leibniz and Immanuel Kant, in which time, rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the mental measuring system.”
