Okay, after many attempts to wrap my head around the subjects in this thread, let me give my two cents.
The existence of time may perhaps be debatable with your travelling through realms, but at the same time, can you define what a realm is? Dictionary.com (I would have used Merriam Webster, but Dictionary had a clearer definition) defines it as "the region, sphere, or domain within which anything occurs, prevails, or dominates". Would not time fall into one of these domains? Or are you speaking more as in different realms where separate incidents happen?
If we were to say this travelling does happen, how does it happen? How do we measure it happening? How do we say, instead of this happened 6 seconds ago, we say this happened 6 realms ago? However, if we were to say it happened 6 realms ago, it still happened in a realm that is behind us. We have traveled from realm A to realm G, therefore, it is a passing of time, though we wouldn't necessarily call it that.
Now, as for decay, let's say I have in my hand a newspaper. This newspaper is made up of molecules and atoms tightly packed together, yes? That much we have proven. Now, let's say we have this newspaper in one realm. You say that the passing over doesn't phase matter anymore. Then where does decay come from? What makes my newspaper fade to yellow and fall apart? Is it the passing through the realms, or is it time that is causing the bonds to weaken?
Another thing. You say these two things in the same post:

Care to stick to one of the opinions? Infinity is something the human mind finds difficult to wrap around because we cannot experience it. Our lifetimes are short, and we cannot see into the past or the future. However, there is nothing there
that we know of that STOPS time. Or rather, as you put it, stops the passing through of the realms. However, as Tiberius said, time can be bent. It is relative. That's something I don't have the expertise to get into, however.
In my eyes, Time and your realms are one and the same. Both involve a passing through, whether it be of moments or of dimensions or realms or whatever your position is. There is always something behind us and something that is happening in the lightning strike of the moment. Whether you define that as time or realms is your choice.
Now, friend, you've asked others to prove that time exists. How can you do the same for your realms?
Oh, and one more question. Why is this in Sailor's Yarn?
