"Beyond the
4th Dimension of Reason: Resetting the Dimensional Clock to Time Zero"
.....but time, seems to have the rather inconvenient characteristic of not wanting to stop, so for all of you so seriously litmusing and testing societal blocks to find out what time it is, best not to pause or lest you be left behind as time so indignantly waits for no "man".
Which leads me to believe that if you truly want to understand time, your efforts may be most productively applied to subjects for whom time does wait. And we can pretend that these anti-pendulous scoffers of sensorial narrative units don't exist, but now who’s being naive?
So let’s all close our eyes and each draw up a mental list of those things of which we know, that are neither concerned with time, nor impacted by it. And no, I am not accepting answers which include concepts like "Timeless Beauty", which is probably the most poorly named manifestation of universal progression....Absurdity!, Even the concept's name is derived from that construct from which it is claimed to be infinitely extracted from. "Timelessness" is a word.
And I really ought to simply leave it at that because any qualifier associated with it, even the seemingly nonsensical (e.g. Timeless Treasure perhaps? is just so plainly a reference to a far from chronologically ambivalent substance held in high regard by a temporary collective that clearly has the poor-boys half of the equation smudged out on the back of his coal shovel, while it apparently requires a large stone structure with windows, a quorum of some order often identified by the “timelessness” of their gray beards, to shuffle and mumble and hrrrfmmph around the room, *periodically" casting metered gazes at the black hole( helpfully drawn on cardboard with a sharpie and hung from the chalkboard), which is never there to explain itself when this quorum meets( because it wasn't timeless, or just wasn't on time?). But as they say, Absence makes the clock tick faster, at least in a black hole, where if you really think about it, it's far too dark to see clocks from within black holes, so who are we to say whether the sum of all time is singularly condensed down to an atomic unit, not really much larger in size or weight than the inherent value of a Bit coin on Chinese New Year. (So does that make Mr. Bit Coin stoic, or ignorant?) but more importantly, just the 30 seconds spent on a nonsensical vision of a personified Mr. Bit Coin is enough to 1) re-enforce the fact that we covet our 30 second fantastical escapades with C Bitty 2) run rough shod in our size 13EEE Geesus Ignorante moon boots over the tops of the truly time deifying list of entities existing within our realm.

If man made time,
would that not suggest that before the age of man, there was no linear
sequences of events that could be expressed in some other way than: all
happening at once? is time a measure of history? a purely relativistic measure
of some sequence of events happening not all at the same time? And if this is
the case that before man came along and began "timing" everything,
there was no essence( there's that word again) of time? we as humans have
devised all manners of mechanics to monitor time, but is time not an inherent
quality of all life? If something has a beginning and an end, does that require
that the middle section is filled with time? this i think is not a question of
whether a being needs to be able to contemplate time, it is a question of
relativity, only, e.g.: what exactly is a "dog year" and who decided
it was seven years of human time? do dogs know this? do they work faster to
accomplish more given that their relative lifespans are somewhat shorter than
their human companions? did early humans with life expectancies of only about
30 years, live their lives as fast as they could, knowing that they only had
about 30 years to live? do fruit flies know that they have 1 day to live? If
man made time, then how do other beings instinctively know when it is
"time" to migrate, or create offspring, or challenge the leader of
their group for supremacy? How much better would man be at keeping
"time" if all mechanical instruments of time were stripped away? Surely
some would be better than others. Primitives don't generally wear watches, but
time is a very meaningful concept to them: when will the ice melt? When will
wild game arrive, when will the 18 hours of sunlight in the far North begin and
end? Do these events not occur according to a routine schedule? Time has
existed long before man. But the mistake that is so often made by man is that
they confuse meta-cognition with invention. Time knew man, long before man used
mechanicals to count the ticks of life
