Just my humble opinion, NO......no Clocks.....no calendars.
I don't see how you can account for time when everyting is forever,
endless, never ending, no nights, no appointments to keep, infinity. Have you ever tryid to wrap your mind around the word endless? It is mind boggling. Fun to try and imagine.

Where does the Bible say that?

Time: the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues

Time exists in Heaven now. Why wouldn't it after we get there. There will be no Sun or Moon to use to keep track of time. Just one continuous day. Time may have had a beginning but I don't think that it has an end because we will be eternal. The created beings continue on infinitely in time. Human history has an end. The history of the Sons of God has yet to begin.

The Bible doesn't say one way or the other, which just goes to prove that a statement can be said to be accurate without being found in the Bible. Unfortunately, too many Christians believe that no truths can be found anywhere else.

God is perpendicular to time, so we can assume that Heaven is, too.

Absolutely!

Absolutely not! "Physical" implies it consists of matter and energy, which God doesn't consist of, so we can assume that Heaven doesn't either.
And besides that, Heaven isn't even a place! It's the word we use in Christianity for "union with God", like in Dharma.

How do you know what God consists of?

As far as this Christian is concerned, it's very much a place. The Bible frequently refers to God as being "in Heaven." Do you simply dismiss those references as meaningless? I mean there are a lot of them! And what about when Stephen looked into Heaven and saw the Father and the Son? Did it not really happen? You really have to be careful when saying what Christianity teaches or what Christians believe. There are just too many forms of Christianity to be able to do that these days.

God consists of Himself.

And you're right. It's impossible to make blanket statements about Christianity.

Oh. Okay. So in what way do you believe I have them mixed up?

Well in the bible, I do not seem to remember heaven being really spoken of. Besides the archaic way of talking about the sky. Ex"The heavens opened up and I got soaked"

I'm not familiar with the verbiage in the Bible used by Roman Catholics, but in the KJV, there are roughly twenty references to God as being our "Father who art in Heaven."

Yeah, that is said. But that does not mean physical heaven.
