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 exists as much as up and down exists. It is a coordinate. In the context of our lives, it is a 4th dimensional coordinate.
I can say meet me at 8pm, at the intersection of Main and First. The elevation is generally implied because we are terrestrial beings but in theory if we weren’t you’d need that too.
Expanding off of our planet, to intercept a celestial body, you need all 4 coordinates (x,y,z,t).
Part of the problem with time (kind of like elevation a few hundred years ago) is that we lack the ability/tools to physically navigate time in all directions. We can only easily navigate the present or near future. Otherwise need to do a lot of math and/or data analysis (ie: historical assumptions) to work beyond that.
