For many physicists, time is, as Einstein suggested,
what you measure with clocks(See his book, Relativity)

Time is a dimension ? -- that idea is nothing more than
using a 4D descriptive notation (T,X1,X2,X3)to describe
an objects state in space-time. The basic idea is
originally due to Minkowski. The dimensions are
mathematical -- it's the words that get us in trouble.
