In _physics_ "time" must be measurable to have any meaning.
The instrument which measures "time" is a "clock" by definition.
So "time" is what we measure by clocks by definition.
There is no alternative to this definition.
amazing such new beginner crap out of you; time is not clocks, time flows
with no clocks whatsoever; in this aspect clocks can be anything
transiting form a state to another state, along the macro domain.
then time is not "measurable", but rather *_registered_*; one use time to measure *_something_else_*. All measurements has a *_timestamp_*
associated with. If changes are measured, the least of two timestamps are
to be registered.
