Time is just a word. We made up that word to describe the state of "time", but really, it doesn't exist as a physical object. It's just an idea. You can measure physical distance, mass, volume, surface area, etc. Because there is an object associated with it, but with time, it has to be relative to something, such as velocity and acceleration. There should be an object that accelerates or has a speed. If time were an illusion, then you could have increased or decreased its flow (I'm careful about using the word speed because it uses time) or turned it back. That only happens in dreams. Time could be described as how long it takes for something to happen. If you suggest that time is only an illusion of the mind, then are you suggesting this whole world is happening in an illusion of the mind?
