When boiling eggs or making tea, the fact that time is the same everywhere is definitely not what makes it useful.



"Boil your tea for thirty of my minutes"


I'm not saying that having standardized time isn't important for its usefulness (although if I know that my tea tastes well after 30 of my minutes, that's already useful to me).

But you wrote "there is literally no other value in time except the fact that it's the same everywhere". This is wrong.
