Same to you Sarge! I hope 2019 is the defining year we get to see our victories more clearer!
True! āTimeā or a clock is a man made construct to give it a value!

You forgot to mention that when āitā was announced the entire crowd booed!
On Fox New Yearās Eve a reporter asked Trump what he thinks about Elizabeth Warren saying she can win the election.
Trump answered: āYouād have to ask her psychiatrist!ā
Badaboom!

Technically that is more philosophy than physics.
I shall have to rummage around in wave/particle and quantum physics to see if I can come up with a counter example. I will start with events, which clearly exist but take essentially zero time.
My initial candidate list:
Nuclear decay
Compton scattering
and possibly Quantum Entanglement (spooky action at a distance)
Vague memories cause me to think that the 11 dimensions came out of String Theory and the Quantum Multiverse. I would have to read a little to refresh my memory.
Before GPS, determining longitude for maritime navigation depended on knowing the exact time. Before the chronometer came along, navigators used water clocks and hour glasses to keep up with the time.

I would say that time is a name that we applied to the phenomenon which is actually time.
There is nothing you can come up with that will convince me that time hasnāt existed since the big bang and no way to convince me that time was āinventedā by man. It is only the measurement of the passage of time that was invented by man.
We needed to quantify the passage of time in order to define speed, acceleration, frequency, tempo, schedules, intervals between events, determine longitude, and eventually distance (in light years)ā¦but most important of allā¦to determine when itās time for a drink.
Itās always after 5 oāclock somewhere!

I thought that was my point. 
So we didnāt invent it, we just named itā¦just as we did distance, weight, mass, inertia, pressure, temperature and many other things that already existed.
Of course. Although, for most of the esoteric things, say gravity, someone had to ādiscover itā and apply mathematics to measure/calculate it before it was finally named.

The gravity of this situation is astounding.

The really funny thing is that Elizabeth Warren is more Neanderthal than she is Indian.
