the concept of time is a human one, but it attempts to fit the changes that we perceive in the world. we have *several* concepts of time in operation, newtonian time being the predominant one. sure the concept only exists in the mind but something else happens "out there" that is pretty consistent, & when the appropriate concept is applied to our relation with "it" it makes engine tune-ups, mars landings & movie times possible.
in any case the mind is also "out there". we are not the ghosts in the machines, we ARE the machines (or to quote devo, "we are the robots". ha.)
