Only objects give time its existence, except these objects are
concepts. Hegel brilliantly figured this out.
Time is the memory of the past and the project for the future that we compose out of this memory. Progress is possibility because we can synthesize new concepts from the collision of old. This is the Hegelian Dialectic, and this is what my triangle avatar is all about.
Objects only exists because there is a force of pure negativity that cuts up the continuous spatial present into objects, and also remembers these objects as concepts. Number is just abstract object.

but without energy and/or mass how would one develope the concept of time though ?
Time is created by memory and desire. Science comes long after humans experience time and science is a development of human concepts within this human time. Desire is an
essential element of time.
Essential!

To say "time is meaningless" seems somewhat of a personification of objects.
Time is actually
created by "meaning"(purpose or desire). We want the future to be different from the present. This future doesn't exist in the spatial present. It exists only in our minds as concept. So we act on the present to make it resemble an imagined future. And this includes
fear, also, because we sometimes act to
prevent certain futures..
human time is prior to physics time which is an invention of human time. physics time is a tool in the service of human desire....
