What really is Time, seriously?




If SR and GR is true and it's taken to its logical conclusion, then
time is not time as we know it. What then is time? Could it be some
kind of fuel to power matter such that in time dilation, the atoms
run slower hence time seems to get "slower"? This may sound
ridiculous but give me something to visualize the organizational
structure of time or why it can do what it does in SR, GR.

If it's a complete mystery and no one knows, let me know too.
I don't know what is the most popular mainstream idea of time
as believed by serious scientists. So what is it.
