How the hell can time be material? You can't even touch it, feel it, or see it. Time is just infinite and goes by. I can't explain it really well. You should get what it means though.


When time passes I'm getting hungry so I can feel it.

The fact time can be distorted proves the absenence of its essence. I cannot interact with time with any of my 5 senses. No visual perception of it, no sensational feeling about being ''on time'' when I've arrange a scheduled destination point. Hell, I can't even taste it in a figurative sense. Don't even ask about smelling it.

I don't know, maybe space and time is just an illusion, such as Gabriele Veneziano's string theory suggests.

Well, GPS's would work even if this weren't true, but they would have to calibrate the satellites differently because clock cycles would simply run at the same speed here as they do several miles above the earth at high speeds.
