In general, knowledge is the reflection in the human brain of the qualities of objects and phenomena. In Philosophy there are two kinds of knowledge: sensory and rational. The sensory knowledge is: particular, concrete and immediate. The rational knowledge is: general, abstract, mediate and linked to language. The new magnitive knowledge is based on measurements of time (clocks and calendars). The magnitive knowledge is: objective, mediate and mathematical.
Length is the physical quantity that indicates the length of a body or figure. Mass is the physical quantity that indicates the amount of matter that a body has. Time is the physical magnitude that indicates the length of the phenomena (objectives). But phenomena are irreversible successions of changes that go from a beginning to an end (interval), so that time increases continuously. We visualize time through its measurements.
One of the great achievements of Physics was to measure an imperceptible (magnitive) magnitude. This was made possible by natural (objective) periodic phenomena. These phenomena are the means by which the existence of time is proven. The clock represents the rotation cycle of the Earth.
You have to learn to think about magnitude time: objective, imperceptible (intervals) and measurable (duration). Time is not only imperceptible, it is unobservable by mathematical equations.
In no-time there is no movement, nothing changes, everything is paralyzed. An observer in no-time, besides that he could not move, could not see or hear, because light and sound would be frozen.
Time is the inherent property of matter to move and change limited by a beginning and an end (interval). To deny the existence of time is to deny that the universe moves and also to deny its evolution over billions of years.
Duration or age is the measure of time. One day signifies and represents the entire process involved in the rotation of the Earth. By analogy, a triangle represents all objects that have that shape.
We know about the existence of time from its three essential aspects:
1) Continuous and irreversible changes and movement.
2) Sequential intervals with a beginning and an end. They are objective and imperceptible. By reasoning we infer that between the beginning and the end there is a sequential line whose length can be measured. This sequential line is similar to the video progress bar.
3) Periodic and repeatable phenomena (measurements).

Time is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from beginning to end. The measurement of time is duration. Over time (a physical magnitude) changes and events pass, but the record of their measurement (duration) remains. The past has been measured and the future is being measured in the present. Duration is represented in physical equations by the letter t.
The age of a person, a tree or a planet is the record of their times respectively (duration). We can affirm that the past and the future do not exist, but the duration is real.
The magnitive time is: objective, imperceptible (intervals) and measurable (duration). Magnitive means a physical magnitude imperceptible to the human being.
If a property is measurable, it is because it exists. The measurement of time (duration) is the evidence that it exists.
Causality is the principle that relates two sequential events: one the cause and the other the effect. To the cause always follows the effect and the effect precedes the cause. This is an absolute principle. All observers will see the cause-effect sequence and never the other way around: effect-cause. For example: All observers will see the egg fall and then break, they will never see it break and then rise and recompose.
The principle of causality explains the arrow of time: cause-effect direction. Even the same time is subject to this principle: changes-intervals. No changes (cause), no intervals (effects). The law of cause and effect is the law of time. For example: the rotation of the Earth (cause) generates the day, 24 hours (effect).

Geochrony is the study and interest in the report of the world climate and time. Meteorology is the science that describes the atmospheric conditions of a certain area or region.
As an example of Geochrony, let's look at the case of Murmansk, a city in northwestern Russia.
Murmansk is located at latitude: 68° 58' N and longitude: 33° 05' E.
The following data is taken from the cell phone weather application.
1) May 4, 7:19 PM
2) Temperature range: 4 / -3.
3) Precipitation: 5%. Cloudy.
4) UV Index: Low.
5) Sunrise: 3:16 AM.
6) Sunset: 10:16 PM.
7) Humidity: 73%.
1) Space and time are not physical entities because they are intangible. This is completely obvious.
2) For Emmanuel Kant, space and time are a priori categories of knowledge that allow us to organize objects and phenomena in a given place and time.
3) For the Theory of Relativity, space and time form a 4-dimensional structure where events occur.
4) Matter, energy, and motion are physical entities because they are tangible.
5) For the Philochrony, space and time are independent objective entities that allow the organization of bodies and events in a given place and time.
6) Bodies move in space (3D) with a certain duration (time).
7) The concept of space-time is the result of multiplying time by the speed of light, thus converting time into a supposed "dimension of space". But in time we cannot move backwards as in space. In other words, time cannot be a dimension of space. Time only flows forward, never backward.
