nice triple post. but no.
Time was, like you said, invented by humans, but it is not a dimention just because we use it to specify meeting places and such. One could just as easily say "meet me at coordinates (334,123,049) with the center of the earth as the origin 'when' the earth is at coordinates (2930,192834,4321) with the center of the sun as the origin." Same concept as time, infact, the coordinates could represent the second, day, week, year, etc, but the system of "time" was invented to allow for a much more regular representation of the earths position relative to the sun. "time" is just the continuity of atoms, molecules, objects etc. reacting with eachother. This continuity cannot be altered.
