Do we really know for sure?

    If the arrow of time pointed backwards, we'd call backwards forwards. We wouldn't know the difference.

    It's not moving at all. Time is one continuous NOW.

    It's not moving at all. WE are moving through it

    WE are moving THROUGH time forward. Time is static and relative, like space. in fact, it's actually "space-time". Because space and time are the woven fabric of the universe.

    Time is a concept. It has no objective reality. It is an abstract tool used to understand reality. It is NOT a thing. in objective reality. This will come back to you decades from now and you will get it....

    our concept of time and keeping it is based on the sun and stars (rotation of the earth) I' don't think there is a universal equivalent to the atomic clock (a model by which all time is based and adjusted)

    No. The mind is a reader and is reading time along a line. Time has no such limits.
