What is Time?

Time is both the dimension of change and the 'flow' of change – one word, two subtly different meanings

If time didn’t exist would we age?

But Time doesn’t exist…only in our minds. Its an abstract concept.

What exists is change.Time is merely the way we calibrate and reference change.

So, you question should be “if change didn’t exist would we age?”. Answer, no. If your body was frozen you wouldn’t change, you wouldn’t age.

But you’d be dead. To live is to change. To change is to age.

Sorry…
