Another clue in understanding "time" - speculation
Bill Shroyer
the nature of whatever fundamental phenomenon lay at the core of what
we call "time". That is to develop a system of physics for describing
the world around us in "freeze frame" mode. I.e., a thorough
exploration of the notion of all physics in which t(ime) equals zero.
Although I suspect that to make it work, time would actually have to
be made to have an infinitecimal value. Another approach is to simply
take the sum total of all equations presently used to describe any of
the many aspects of physics, and where the variable of time is
involved, make it an ever-shrinking number until the calculations can
no longer be considered to be defining any sort of recognizable
universe.
That unrecognizable universe, I suspect, is fundamental to the nature
of reality itself. It's closer to the "true" universe, the true,
fundamental core of existance, than when physics uses larger values
for time.
Just some thoughts.

I mean to do this while continuing to correlate the status of each
physics equation involved with all the other equations, as much like
any evolved "family", every physics equation can be tied in to every
other physics equation probably by no more than 5 degrees of
separation (i.e., equation 1 relates to equation 6 indirectly via its
relationship to equation 2, 2's relationship to 3, 3's relationship to
4, 4's relationship to 5 and 5's relationship to 6.
