Humans created the concept of time. Humans are the universe trying to figure itself out. Time is part of the universe. Its called Universal Time. LOL

Carroll has been wrestling with the mystery of time. 
Most physical laws work equally well going backward or forward, yet time flows 
only in one direction. Writing in <A 
href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=the-cosmic-origins-of-times-arrow">this 
month’s Scientific American</A>, Carroll suggests that entropy, the tendency of 
physical systems to become more disordered over time, plays a crucial role. 
Carroll sat down recently at Caltech to explain his theory.<BR></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-carroll28-2008jun28,0,1685613.story"><B>What's the problem with time?</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.latimes.com/news/science/la-sci-carroll28-2008jun28,0,1685613.story">The irreversibility of time is sort of the most obvious unanswered question in
