What do you think time is?

It´s impossible to define time without referring to time. Similar to a goldfish describing the water in which she swims without saying it´s wet. That is if goldfish could describe things.

Do you think that time is a real thing that exists on its own, and not just a human concept?

In order to measure a physical quantity the measuring device must possess that quality. Just as a meter rod is physically one meter.

The same for a clock. It must possess that quality we call time. I call this "matter" time in that the clock if it is in motion will have slower time than when at rest. And empty time is the fastest.

I believe if time slows down there must be a kind of fastest time point from which to start the slowdown.
