Time does exist, the word is just misleading

First of all, tip of the hat and a "well said" badge to Mr. Self Destruct.


Time is decay. Time is literally the decay of atoms, the deceleration of light, and the breakdown of order. Time is chaos. Time does not have to be something we can travel through, it is simply a fact of life.

I would say that the word "time" needs to be separated from its fictional history. The only reason we can measure time to its most exact proportions is because of the decay of a Cesium atom in a laboratory, forming an atomic clock. Time is not real as a word, but time certainly exists as a function of the universe.
