In quantum mechanics, as far as I know (and I don't know much), the idea
of time is a valid one, but particles are waves (and vice versa) and you
only have probability distributions for the location and velocity of the
particles in the system rather than knowing their exact position as in
the classical case. But, and this is an I think, observation collapses
the probability distributions and fixes some of the attributes of the
system. Which is wierd, and why I don't like quantum mechanics much.
 In Relativity though, time is a relative thing. You can have two events
occur simultaneously in one frame, and at different times in another,
and so on.
