Well days, hours, minutes and seconds are just arbitrary man-made amounts of time that we invented to keep track of everything. Even a day, which is based on a natural event, would have no meaning to an alien, since there wouldn't be anything significant about Earth to them.
Also like someone else already mentioned, time travel into the future is actually possible. Time is relative, it doesn't pass by at exactly the same speed for everyone. The faster you move, the slower time moves for you than for everyone else (who are at rest). You wouldn't notice any difference though, time would appear normal to you but everyone else would appear to have sped up. But to everyone else, time would appear to be normal to them and you would appear to have slowed down. This is completely unnoticeable at our everday speeds, even speeds achieved by the fastest supersonic jets. But if you move near the speed of light then time will slow down so much for you that thousands of years would pass by for everyone else, while it might only be a few minutes for you. So you would then travel into the future.
As bizarre as that seems it has actually been tested. They created two atomic clocks and synchronised their times. Then they put one on a airplane and sent it flying around the world at high speeds. When they compared the clock after that they had fallen out of sync (albeit by only a few nanoseconds).
Is it normal I don’t believe in time?
