There would be no time without man. It is our construct. Animals do not sit about wasting time, they don't count the minutes. The sun doesn't worry when it will die or when the train will arrive. It doesn't think of morning when it rises. To it, there is no when. You can argue that animals keep time. With specific mating seasons, feeding seasons, even the general concept of time required to walk and jump. You can argue that time is a mathematical principal, inherent in nature as a whole. Sure. But time as a construct of man is more. It predates the universe and, surely, will continue after the universe is gone. If time were to cease than what would exist without it would be unfathomable or nothing. We made time to be perpetual, forever. We did this so we could think about forever. We know it continues when men die, because we've seen it. It stops for nothing. Think of this next time you ask a stranger for the time and they look kindly at their cellphone to assist you with the very important task. Think of time for what it really is when you sit in your dark kitchen staring dully at the blinking, incandescent glow of the 12:00 on your microwave. Think of it when you wake from your 14 hour nap. Time does not care about man, nor animal, the sun or universe. It is forever.
