There is no need to view time as anything other than an emergent concept arising from the very beginning of the universe’s first existential event.
When the universe transitioned from an uneventful state to one characterized by events and changes, time emerged as a uniform framework to relate and measure these changes. Humans, as intelligent beings, only later discovered and formalized this concept.
Since time has no independent physical existence and arises solely as an emergent construct, it cannot be directly interfered with or manipulated.
Clock time is an endeavour to represent cosmic time physically.
Dear Thakur, Heidegger's Being and Time is a vitally important reference on this subject. Time is life, and life is short. Time is more valuable than money.
Paul Kuei-chi Tseng,
Your comment is not relevant to the focus of this discussion. The emphasis here is on time—specifically cosmic time—not on life, money, or their social implications. While reflections on life, money, and time may be interesting from a philosophical or social perspective, they fall outside the scope of this scientific discussion. Such points may be more appropriate in other contexts, but they are not directly pertinent here
