If you give it a lot of honest thought, I think you can come to the conclusion that there really is no such thing as time. It is just a made up concept to create some kind of order in our thinking about doing and not doing things. Consider this as a starting point. Two objects are traveling toward each other at a million miles per hour and they are about to touch, they are only half the distance apart of the diameter of the smallest particle known to mankind. If they move any more they will touch. That is the segment of "time" we all live in. It is always "Right Now" for all of us, though we string all these tiny segments together in our minds. Because we string these ting segments together in the viewing and thinking of things it just seems so normal to feel there is such a thing as time. Happy Thinking !

Time is defined by events. Once the heat-death of the universe occurs, there will be no time, as there will be no events.

Sir Roger Penrose has a theory that the heat-death of one universe is indistinguishable from the singularity from which a new one emerges. Both are instances of the highest possible entropy where time, space and mass cease to have physical meaning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2_6h15UCMg
