People have recently started to ask, “does time exist?” My response is “yes, of course,” as a method of measuring any moment.

Duration is the history of the constantly existing moment known as the present. We cannot escape the present. We can remember the past and conceptualize the future, but we always live in what we call “now.”

Time is the measurement between two instances in the ever-existing and moving present. By keeping the intervals between the instances constant we set a standard that can be used by others to synchronize to and thus document increments of time with the same measurement.

Time is preferably measured by reliable cycles, like the rotation of the Earth, and its revolution around the Sun, or the duration of a force. It always exists, and the measurement of it is best with a reliable constant.

Is it a new dimension? I think it is simply a way of referencing the fourth spatial dimension of motion.
