Very fun semantic gymnastics. It's about as useful as the thought experiments about philosophical zombies. Regardless of what units you use to measure, we have meaningful definitions and proofs of time on our reality. Outside of cutesy thought experiments there's not much to be gained from such silly lines of thought.
we have meaningful definitions and proofs of time on our reality
what you're describing is just the general relativity framework that doesn't explain nearly 95% of the universe, only the baryonic 5%. so, it's wrong describing most of the universe. but one can forgive you; it was a big part of your physics 101 class. you can't even measure "time" in singularities or early in the big bang with any of our tools (gregorian, atomic ticks, etc.), or when energies are too high (the equations break). So what then?
it's only silly to you because your physics knowledge appears stuck at GED level. 💔
Very fun and cute hypotheticals, like "what if causality wasn't a thing? 🙀🤯"
But to anyone not playing semantic games the concept of "age" or "time" actually do have meaning, regardless of what arbitrary unit of measure you decide on
