Dear David Maes:

There's a lot of different interpretations of time.
A standard definition is an interval of motion between two or more locations in space, this constitutes what Einstein was inspired to call 'space-time' - he considered them inseparable.
It matters not whether anyone is observing or measuring or not.
Time is motion.
Einstein also identified time as the 4th dimension.

Lotta contentious controversy on the subject.
Hope yer question evokes more answers.

There's alotta stuff about time, there and then that applies to here and now.

(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
