When you look at an old face, it's common to say that 'time' has caused all of those wrinkles. But if you wanted to know when a picture of a person you know was taken, you would look at the features of the face to try to figure out how 'old' the person is. Notice the trick? We use the wrinkles to measure time, but we say time causes the wrinkles. It's circular. We don't live 'in' time, time isn't a thing that makes us get old. Just as we don't live 'in' space. Big secrets of the world here, I reckon.
