I can't explain what it really is, but there are many different theories as to how time behaves, whether or not it exists, and/or what it's nature is. Some people say that it's only an illusion created in our minds, some say that we are living in a timeless universe, some say that time flows, some say that we are only observing slices of the whole of time, and there are a multitude of other ideas that can't remember right now. Time is also considered to be the 4th dimension (and there may be even more dimensions).
The General Theory Of Relativity references time as a continuum. This is without any demarcations, such as past, present and future, which are constructs of the mind. They do exist, but only subjectively so. This can be next to impossible for humans to comprehend, because their entire existence assumes time as absolute and identical, with neat, precise chronological divisions. They quite simply have no alternative reference point for it. Even physicists and cosmologists spend most of their life referencing time the same as the rest of us.
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN
