Time is just a means to measure something's existence. In other words, it's arbitrary. Gravity is the force that needs to be understood to move to a higher plane.

I'll have to disagree..
There is a beginning and an end..
You are born and you will die..

The article mentioned entropy..
Possibly "time" would effectively end or stop if the universe reaches absolute zero throughout..
If there is no longer any energy transfer, no electron spin, no particle movement, only then could one suppose there is no longer any "time"..

But as long as there is heat, and activity, ( even on the quantum level? ) then one could use the progression of that sequential activity to measure time.. ( define time? )

Time may be "relative" to the physical state, but not arbitrary.. ( "physical" or atomic time, maybe a "quantum" time, or "probability" time, or "string" time.. )

Of course, this is just my opinion, demented rambling though it may be..
I don't expect anyone to simply accept it as scientific fact..
