Well of course time doesn't exist! If I were to ask you in person to tell me the correct time "now," you can't, since as you are telling me, the future has already become the past, therefore there is no present, therefore TIME DOESN'T EXIST! Idea courtesy of the 1994 movie "I.Q."

I think instead of asking whether or not time exists, we should ask, what are the implications if time does or does not exist, and does it really matter?

I'm also really interested in the idea that a broken clock tells the correct time twice a day, while a working clock, depending on it's accuracy, is correct a lot less of the time. If a working clock were off by .000000000001 seconds, it would need to continually run until it was off by exactly 24 hours or exactly 0 hours to actually show the correct time. So, most working clocks are actually wrong for significantly longer periods of time than broken clocks. Figure that one out. Going on this, we should all theoretically use broken clocks to tell time because they are right more times than working clocks lol.
