what exactly is time?

Imagine, you wake up from your bed, thinking of the important meeting you had in your office today. You than look towards the clock on the wall. What!! It's 9:00 am, you are late. You rush to your car and start heading towards your workplace, thinking if you had some 'TIME' in hand. But wait, in all that rush, and thinking of having some time... stuff, did you thought for a second that what actually is this Time that never lets you live peacefully? Or, even if it really exists, or it's just an another misconception. Let's check it out...Time, as everyone knows, is not a particular substance, element, or any feeling stuff, but the concept of time is self-evident.
The passing of time is indeed closely connected to the concept of space. According to the general theory of relativity, space, or the universe, emerged in the Big Bang some 13.7 billion years ago. The time was created 0.0000001 seconds after the big bang. Einstein's general theory of relativity suggests that time will get slower near denser objects like neutron stars and specialy, black holes. You might wanna know why. This is because of their huge mass and density. Take an example of a bedsheet. Place a basketball at one place and a golf ball on another point. The point where there is the basketball, the bedsheet will sink deeper, the point where there is the golf ball, the bedsheet will sink less Deeper. This is because of the large mass of basketball and small mass of golf ball. The same is with the space-time fabric. The dense objects bend the space-time fabric and the time gets slower near it. Will will learn about space-time fabric next time. The denser the object, the slower will be the time for the observer. Abhove you see the artistic impression of space time fabric. 
Now, as we discussed of you thinking if time actually exists, many scientists believe that the concept of time is just a misconception. The question of existence of time is not new. According to many scientists, when objects moves at different speed in space, we persist that they are different points on space-time fabric and time is moving at a different pace for all of them. It's just speed that we persist as time. 

Well, I'm a bit confused between both of these. Please comment your views in the comments section and let me know which one you can rely on to get smarter among your friend circle. And yeah, this is my first post, please tell me if I can do anything to improve my future uploads.
