If one is to delve into the question of "What is time?" it may be
worth asking the companion question "What is space?" The theory of
relativity tells there is a deep connection between the two. And the
fact that the spatial question is asked less frequently may imply that
it is an even subtler question.
Bob Haselby wrote
"Without Time, everything would happen at once!"
Of course the word "once" depends on the meaning of the word "time."
In similar fashion, one could say
"Without Space, all things happen on top of each other!"
And again the meaning of "on top of" depends on the meaning of space.
Finally, if we follow relativity, the real question becomes "What is
space-time?"
