Concepts related to time
Granted, physicists have a very specialized conception of time, but I wanted to ponder the various roles that time plays in our own lives. Later it would be interesting to see how the physicists would weigh in on these social conceptions.
Some terms and concepts related to time in our lives:

Some questions:
- Does space-time ever manifest itself in our daily lives, or do we always experience time and space as distinct dimensions?
- Can we define a complete ontology for time that does not depend on an ontology for space?
- Does time have a nature?
- Is time a domain?
- Can time ever be considered an entity? Other than the fact that a concept can be considered an entity.
- Can time be detected other than due to motion of objects or emission of energy?
- Is time in constant movement?
- Can time ever be frozen temporarily or permanently?
- Can time itself actually be observed?
- Can time itself actually have a rate?
- Can time itself cause anything?
- Can anything cause time itself?
- Whether or not spatial objects can travel in time, can time itself travel?
- Does time have only quantity but not quality?
- Is there a quantum of time?
- Is there a theoretical time distinct from observable time?
- Can time be discontinuous?
- Does time branch?
- Are there parallel timelines?
- If there are parallel universes, is time parallel or independent in each universe?
