Define "time" without looking it up or anything. Use your brain 👍 and don't use the word "time" in your definition.

the closest I got is: as distance is the length between two objects, time is the length between cause and effect

but I'm still wrong because if I lied dead in a box without moving or anything happening, time would still pass in that box, and I'd still age and decay... So I don't know

Actually, wait... If a body decays changes are happening, causes and effects. At every point in time something moves, changes, reacts, even if it's just particles in the air floating about...so the length between those actions is time, and in a hypothetical situation (since its impossible as far as I'm aware), nothing at all happened, there'd be no time. Boom.

ehh while time and progression are quite similar, I'm not sure if I'd say they're synonyms, and time isn't really related to life, but I like the way you're thinking and I see where you're going with it 👍

well without time to measure there would be no way to measure the existence of life or the earth. Time existed but man made the scale as which it's measured by

But without time there is no measure of progression, since progression happens over time

well technically without time, existence would last nothing yet would also last forever so there would be no measuring the existence since there is no scale to measure it with

time is irrelevant to simple observation, so us creating measurements for time didn't like change that...

yea but you might not need to know how long something exists...that again is progression and chiz, not simple existence. I barely even know what we're walking about anymore xD this is like really irrelevant to the definition of time

well, i thought, u couldn't measure the duration of something if u don't have time. Without time there is no scale. A second could be a day

and you keep saying "measure" existence... Existence isn't something you can measure, it's too broad. The length in time something exists can be measured, how much something grew when it existed can be measures, but existence itself cannot...I don't think

i might not be but i always thought, if there is no time there is no way to measure the length of something i.e - life. We can see something exists but we have no idea how long since there is no time scale to use

Hmmm. I think time is more about moments??? The things we remember most have a "time" which marks or records them.
