Is time a theory in and of itself? 

I've heard about space and time compressing when approaching the speed of light, as if time is some physical entity. So then is time the product of a specific theory in and of itself? That's to say, is there a 'theory of time'? If so, does time exist as it is conceptualized in the mind of your ordinary person?

I think there was an old RobotRollCall post that said something along the lines of "Time is real, or at least as real as space.  Space is what separates 2 events from happening at the same time.  Time is what separates 2 events from happening at the same place."
