How is perception related to existence in your view? I guess you wouldn't say that everything that anybody perceives automatically exists by definition? (Although it indeed then exists as a perception.)

There are literally thousands of theories but in the end just theories. Scientists love to mentally masturbate about things that will probably remain unprovable. If time were entropy then we would experience timelines chaotically but rather we experience a smooth linear trajectory.

Words and concepts are created to define our perceptions and experiences otherwise everything including the true nature of time is based on pure mathematics, most of which is beyond our comprehension.

The word TIME refers to a nonspatial continuum in which events occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future.

Since the word was invented to define our perception of this force of nature then that means it exists or we wouldn't have created a word to define it.

What i'm saying is that definitions and words are created to define our experiences and perceptions.
The true nature of time is therefore irrelevant to our definitions.
