What do you understand the word "day" to mean?

I've always regarded time as the first dimension (inasmuch as you can enumerate dimensions meaningfully), since it must permeate every other dimension.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Clearly, time is also the most important dimension as well. An apple with an overly large time dimension is going to be pretty unappealing [get it?], whereas the spatial dimensions of the apple are going to have only a minimal effect on its overall yumminess.

Time is the parameter whose value used in predictive equations make them agree with observation.

Time does exist, the conditions of its existence is subjective to each particular observer though. Some have taken this as an indicator that time is merely an illusion; they are wrong. Its existence can be demonstrably verified, just look at any of the experiments testing aspects of relativity such as this one.
