Abian answers:
Einstein's definition of TIME, i.e.,
TIME is what a watch measures (A.Einstein)
is as nonconvincing as saying
INTELLIGENCE is what IQ-test measures
Experience shows that many "very intelligent persons" score dismally on
the best designed IQ tests.
TIME is yet another manifestation of MASS (A. Abian)
or more precisely,
TIME is that cosmic mass which is spent to overpower the
tendency of maintaining the status quo of the present instant

Would you care to support this statement with facts ?

That is a fact that has nothing to do with yor statement.

No, I don't think so, Martin. I would call it a, perhaps, judicious
cop-out. It leaves so much unsaid.

Or that "distance" is what rules measure.

You could also say, Alexander, that "Time is energy." "Time" is a
measure of spatial displacement and the very actuality of "substance"
itself depends on spatial displacement, so that without "time" - more
accurately "spatial displacement" - you could not have "mass" or
"energy".
There is no such thing as "rest mass", since that which is at rest has
no more than "reciprocal substance", which can have only a numerical
character. The concept of "rest mass" must be some abstraction from that
infinitude of mathematical solutions which bear no relation to Reality
whatsoever, but exist only in mathematics.
