  This paper lends perspective to the media catchphrase that <time does not
exist>. To show how phrases such as this should be interpreted, we formulate
some of the most important questions that arise in discussions about time in
physics. We start by analyzing Newton's objective view on time and explain how
entropy gives it a direction. After that, we discuss how relativity distances
us from Newton's views, while quantum theory brings us closer to the Newtonian
view. The arguments are presented in such a way that they can be followed and
checked by anyone who studies the theories involved - be they undergraduate
physics students or otherwise.
