Yes, and I agree with you two that the measure of time is not time itself, just like centemeters aren't space but the measure of it, seconds aren't time but the measure of it.
But what you can't say is that time is now. That's the exact opposite of time. Time is the dimensions of change, or motion (whatever you call it), the important thing is that now is not time, now is space. I'm going to make a cartesian analogy. In the coordinate system, we have x and y. X is defined as y=0 and y is defind as x=0. Well the same with space and time. If there is a now, that is time=0 (for now exactly is a moment, a unique state, not a motion) and that is Space. So actually every now and then are points in space. Time is the difference, the path from now to then or then to now. It's dificult to explain but it's correct.
