1.) Time is what seperates one event from another.
I began writing this by adding "in the same space". But then I figured that no two molecules or particles can occupy the same space at the same time (can it?).

I'll only comment on this one, as I don't have time go in-depth for the others.
Events are determined by levels of description. You can change your description and have a different event. So, you could have two separate events that are related to each other, and by changing the description of the events you come up with a third event, containing aspects of the first two, but remaining a separate event. Donald Davidson examines this in depth in his book
Essay's on Actions and Events, and I believe it's in chapter 7 where he goes into event descriptions (as pertaining to necessary and sufficient conditions).
So what I'm alluding to is that Time being that which separates events from each other is an insufficient definition, as mere level description suffices to do this. As for Time IS Experience, this wouldn't work as temporality is a necessary condition for experience, and Time Is Change might be a tautology (I should say more, but as I said, I don't have time, no pun intended).
