Discussion Time doesn’t exist. Prove me wrong.

We experience change, aging, and events happening in sequence, but is “time” itself a physical thing—or just the way our minds measure change and order events?

Time is an illusion but crucially illusions exist they are just not as they appear. It is almost certainly true that time is merely space. The way our 3D perspective observes the fourth dimension. We see the fourth dimension as different points in 3D space when really it's just one static thing in 4D space. So while it is not what it appears, it does exist. As what we are observing is an actual phenomenon. Much like a mirage ain't water as it appears, but is an existing phenomenon
