I have been pondering for quite a while, "what is time?" and I believe i have come to a reasonable outcome i believe.
At first it began with a wild fantasy about manipulating time. From that I questioned, "what is time?" and my outcome has turned out like this:
Time seems to be no more than human beings trying to add order to the world. Time is only a figment of our minds. We find things that are constant such as: the seasons or the sun rising and setting each day. Now time is an essential form of orginization but I believe it to be something else. I myself have defined time as the atomic motion of the world, where as every atom and particle is moving, making the standard view time seem completely wrong.
My outcome would also mean that to go back in time you would have to reverse all atomic motion in the universe.
I would like to know what your thoughts are about this.

Are you saying that if the universe was at 0 degrees Kelvin Scale, time would freeze?
n the other hand, as temperature increases, particle motion increases. This would mean that the sun and my rubbing my hands together speed up time, whereas a cold Coka-Cola or a Snowman slows down time.
This would also mean that larger particles, moving slower, would slow down time, wheras smaller, lighter particles would speed time up.
Time is a constant (x), whereas Temperature isnot (y). Implying that time is related to particle motion would take out a large portion of Einsteins Theory of Relativity.
As I stated previously, time is a constant. And what I have said before would mean that time is either constantlly changing speeds, or is at different speeds in different locations (faster near a star, slower near a void).
i reallly think it depends what in your opinion is time. seconds minutes etc. are just words human nade up in order to be able to feel time better. but time is not a cycle. in general its a streight line that never ends and never really started.
@Orion in the classic view time is exactly a dimension, another axis. If you image a unidimensional world (a line) you'll easily understand with a graphic that time is another axis.
On topic, well, I never thought it that way. Sure, the human concept of time is based on constant which aren't so constant, but I never tried to tie time with temperature. It's an interesting point of view. But on your last sentence,
My outcome would also mean that to go back in time you would have to reverse all atomic motion in the universe.
It's just as say "if I go back in time, why wouldn't the universe come back with me?" . A time travel actually isn't rewinding you, is rewinding all the universe but not you.

This and this may help. If I can recall, time is the fourth dimension but I don't really have time to check.
Are you saying that if the universe was at 0 degrees Kelvin Scale, time would freeze?
If The universe was at actual zero then it is likely that all matter would stop. Although the coldest it gets in the deepest region of space is 3 Kelvin. Although I didn't quite explain my outlook on time that well, due to the fact that I couldn't word it as I wanted and yet still have you all understand it. But time is abstract and is simply people tracking constants.
I never truly believed that time was the fourth dimension, but that's only me thinking that it should be an axis, although it does make a certain amount of sense to have it be time.
Time is merely a relative human perception altered by not only the molecular, but also the macro, movement of the subject in question with the relationship of the speed andperception of time in an inverse relation. While this may seem to state that speed slows down time, without movement, time would cease to exist. Read your Einstein
The unit known as a second is defined by a cesium atom at 0K.
OK has not yet been achieved. I'm sure you meant near 0.
to go back in time you would have to reverse all atomic motion in the universe
If you reverse all motion, you just make it go the other direction. Speed is speed, velocity has no effect on time.
