Will there be clocks and time in heaven
Answer by Robert Brow

Time is
merely an invented method of measuring in this world. Similarly weight does
not exist, except as a learned way of estimating kilos and pounds. There
is no such thing as distance, or heat, or even colour - we just master the
skills (the language games, as in Wittgenstein) needed to work with
these. We won't need time in heaven, just the enjoyment of all that the
joys of this life are merely a foretaste..
