What a lie! Humans have found out how much time it takes for the stars
to align and that period is 365 days and a bit more.  That is the
absolute basis for time.

Time is an interval between events. Events exist. What happens in
between also has existence. Consider time as a flow upon which things
happen. There is the underlying sense of cheating in any illusion. Such
is not the case with time. It flows and keeps on flowing creating
changes in things.



Yet, science depends on almost

Time is a dimension, but then there can be many dimensions in a database
record. Like mass, charge, density... The timestamp is there to show the
state at a given time.




Like in GR spacetime, claiming time as

GR like SR is wrong, but immensely clever in order to get funding from
exciting atom bomb fears.  And hope or vision for the future from scifi
stuff involving the Eisnteinian bs.

Because it shows the state of other dimensions and quantities at a given
time. We cannot observe time as such, but based on the absolute value of
the year, we can find intervals, and do timestamping.
