The effect of being in the time dimension is far more subtle than being in space. We can mark the passage of time with a clock but that is not the same as measuring it directly. I think time is so implicit to our state of being that we do not see it when it is in front of our noses. The problem is that we have become accustomed to thinking of time as some abstract reference that is somehow there but not linked to ourselves.
My suggestion is that in a sense, matter is encapsulated time. If we think of light as a movement or propagation through space then matter is a propagation through time. The wave-particle duality is not quite what it seems. Time and matter are synonymous. The time in one place is not the same as the time in another. A gas or a liquid is time in chaos. However, the time for a discreet entity (for example a living being or a planet, is centrally co-ordinated for that entity. In other words, each entity has a clock that sets its time. An atom or molecule is a manifestation of time. So, like space, time for each co-ordinate system has its origin. So the clock of a physical entity relates in some way to its zero point.
