How do you personally define time?

Pulled the thread from LifeQuest Community > Off-topic > Writer's Guild - Time
Time that is limitless is also very intriguing to me. As you know I am a champion of the circle theory. Where there is no end and no beginning. Realistically, there has to be a beginning at some point, which may be separated by the end only by a particle that is so small that it cannot be measured.
Time would be a living force that is multi-dimensional, expanding and mutating, along with being a part of all in creation (for a better term).
Scientifically this is not measurable or able to be reconstructed. Not at this time in our history. So, there are all kinds of thoughts that could be brought forth.
Time being a circle, globe or other object that has no beginning or end, would be at the beginning and the end, yet it would have to dwell in a continuum that is also devoid of the rules of time. Such as we see the past, present, and future. It would not be subject to the same rules as the interior of it.
At any point in time it would be able to establish and view the three views.
thoughts?

Why must there be a beginning? |

Natural universal law.
Any organism/object that is "alive" will reproduce itself in the manner that it was first "created/alive"

A belief in a timeless, boundless, infinite universe typically rules out a beginning of matter and all things. No creator is possible in this scenario; it is not possible to create something if it has always existed perpetually. Enlighten me on your above definition of time. Interesting concept. What was there before? Is it stagnate if it is infinite? Can it mutate? Is it part of everything? |

There was nothing "before" because a "before" doesn't exist.
There is change, but there is no time.

I define change as: the second part of the conditional statement(s) occurs.

So, I take that Change = no time per your above definition. |

Correct, time is not real.

Some definitions of infinity only imply one direction or plane. I'm going further to specify that it is boundless --the infinite continuation of all things in all dimensions.

If all things have existed then how does the flow of time work for us? For there are things that we have not "discovered" but in your explanation exist. |

The flow of time does not exist because time does not exist.

Is what we live daily then an illusion?
