We're talking about two different things

i now ask: how does someone measure something.

i'm not trying to be an ass, but the whole idea of time existing depends on a perception.


we didn't have time travel novels until the thinking about time changed (for a fun think about kind of thing that's not related to the points)

tough read but worth it. explores how notions of time shifted from the greeks to renaissance

I'm agreeing with you that the measurement is arbitrarily based on the Earths revolution around the Sun. Going back in time is easy, look in a telescope - you're looking back in time. Going forward on the other hand I won't even bother with. Time does exist, in the same way that space exists, without time there would be no reality. Time is that fourth dimension that is part of the medium of reality.
