Time is a dimension, just like left/right, up/down, forward/backwards. Dimensions are directions. They are the distances between things. Between the 8 ball and the cue ball on a pool table, or between an airplane and the ground, or from the earth to the moon. Can you say the concept of East is made out of something, like cheese? No. But you can say that cheese is 50 feet away to the East. Just because dimensions aren't made of stuff doesn't mean they aren't very, very real.

When considering time as a dimension, it is the distance between, say, this split second and a split second 10 minutes ago. Like the cheese is 50 feet from here, those two split seconds are 10 minutes away from each other. Again, the time isn't made of stuff, but it is very real. Otherwise those two split seconds would happen simultaneously, not 10 minutes apart.
