This article should really have been called "How do we become aware of time?" Because time is not perceived. Through a process of intuition, we abstract the duration of beings. Duration is the permanence of beings and their changes in reality in a given place or state.
We perceive becoming, but not time. Becoming is the continuous succession of irreversible changes that go from the past to the future, passing through the present.
We record this abstraction in our memory. In time measurements, we associate numbers with abstractions of duration. For some people, time is an illusion, but time is a physical magnitude and therefore not an illusion.
In ancient times, people determined the duration of the day and divided it into 24 hours. We don't have a sense for perceiving duration. We also abstract duration from the aging and material deterioration of beings.
In conclusion, we do not mean here to say that time is a product of the mind because time is a physical entity and therefore real.
