Time? The only way we can measure it is by using a timepiece, but we still can't see, touch, taste, hear or smell it.
We are constrained by the fact that we percieve things as a series of moments flowing together into a stream of events. You can measure time easily. Set up a camera, film for an hour, sit down and watch the video. You can -see- the movement of time forward from the fixed point you started filming.

Can you hear length? Smell depth? I'd argue that you can -see- time as easily as you can see the width of somthing. Why does it have to be measurable by -all- senses in order to count?

What if there wasn't an impression of movement, of change due to the degradation of things and the spawning of new things? Well, humans wouldn't know what "time" would be and probably never would of though about it.
They wouldn't know what time was and woudln't have thought about it...BUT IT WOULD STILL BE PASSING...to me this seems to back up my claim that Time is an existing thing outside the bounds of human time measurement systems.
