Im skeptical of your intentions but...
Time is a dimensional quality..not a quantity...though we often speak of time as something we run out of.
You are confusing physics and the everyday world you live in. Time is a
dimensional quality in general relativity, in physics, in cosmology. It is a dimensional quality when describing the space we experience. In this sense time has never been refered to as "running out".
As a dimensional quality...it is purely of our mindful efforts
It is purely of the
mindful efforts of people much smarter than you and I to have figured out that time was a dimensional quality.
Divisions of length 'exists' only in our thoughts.
A distance traveled is metered for the sake of calculation
but the act of measurement does not generate mass nor speed.
Yes, and the tribes men who live in the rain forest have no use for a calculator. Time IS used for the sake of calculations, by people who are calculating! If you don't want to recognize time as a dimention, then don't. If you aren't calculating anything that requires you to take time into consideration, what do you care? However, if you are going to calculate something that required you to take time into consideration, then you better see it as a 'thing' that is a part of the geometry of the universe or you are going to fuck things up.
I am aware that extreme speed or extreme gravity 'warp' our perceptions,
Of what?
and the calculations to understand such things suggest even greater inconceivable effects...
What 'such things' are you talking about?
but to treat time as mass or energy,
Who is doing this? Who is treating time as
mass or
energy?
3 spatial dimensions and 1 time dimention describe the geometry of our universe...where's the problem?
