3) Time is simply an element of measure. It only exists on earth. It began at creation when God said, "the evening and the morning were the first day."

Hmmm.
Wonder if John Titor knows of Mallett?
Maybe his time looks back at Mallett like we do Einstein.

Time is relative to the observer. But the noticed effects of the observer aren't actually changing anything.
Time can not be speed up or slowed down.
You can not travel in to the future.
The 'future' only becomes the present.
You can technically observe the past by moving faster than the speed of light away from where you want to observe.
It's not the universe has a time recording device or anything..

You need all 4 dimensions to describe matter, any 3, 2, or 1, alone is simply a mathematical coordinate and not an entity. The point, is an infinitesimally small coordinate of location, one cannot hold a point, one can only occupy that point in space for a given amount of time. A line is simply the shortest distance between two points in space, not a tangible entity. Two dimensional space, a plane, is not an entity, it is still a coordinate of a threshold, one can only breach and never 'hold', a given coordinate of the threshold plane between two lines. Connecting two planes finally creates a three dimensional location of space that one can if one fits into those coordinates occupy, but without a time reference as to when the space is occupied the description has no meaning.
Yea we need time, the universe doesn't though.

time is not an entity.
Time certainly exists, if you were to lose your arm in the past you have a reference in time when you once had that arm, but you are now beyond that point in time with that proof of the loss of a limb.
This is like saying.. you can't change the past which is true.. This doesn't mean there is some other dimension that Time is existing in.
Now, as Baryonic matter approaches light speed (somehow in sci fi, not in our reality), time slows and you know why? Light, which is not a physical Baryonic matter will have a greater distance to travel to 'catch up' to the traveling particle, or being, and the particle of Baryonic matter, or being's 'clock' slows, so that the approaching light is still observed to catch up and pass at c, c is a universal constant. To the traveling Baryonic matter particle, or being traveling at c, time according to that entity does not move, in other words, to the light photon from a distant source 13 billion light years away, that to us took 13 billion years to reach us, the photon experienced no time lapse at all, to the photon, it reached us as soon as it left its source. Should that photon of light be reflected back to its source (somehow), 26 billion years would have elapsed from when it left at its source, thus the photon 'time traveled' beyond its source if it still exists, in some given spacial coordinate of space it has moved to. Once the poor photon left its source traveling c it is doomed to have no way of returning to the point in space-time of its origin, even though the time it was gone was zero to the poor photon doomed to travel only to the future though no time took place to it itself at all.
This short video will explain better what I am trying to say about time and c.
All of this said travel faster than c is just an idea, and not a possible reality for baryonic matter, so hypotheses of what happens to time to an entity traveling faster than light are meaningless, and simply conjecture. Once you begin your light speed travel you simply can't get back to when you started, because the time lapse of where you started from, elapsed much faster than time is moving for you traveling c.
No. 'Time' is just an idea. Faster than light travel is possible. There is no speed limit to the universe. If I were to travel faster than light for 1 year away from earth then turn around and travel the same speed going back to earth I would get back 2 years from when I left. I would be 2 years older. everyone on earth would be 2 years older.
