When I was in grade 5? I had this idea that other people in my library class who found the book being read to us interesting would've already finished hearing it and even left class, in their lives. Whereas I, who found the book incredibly boring would still be seeing my life's version of them and still be listening to the boring ass book. This was because somebody told me that old phrase, "Time flies when you're having fun."

I've been thinking of the notion of time for a long time. My little conclusion was that time cannot be measured in any possible way without the use of the notion of motion. Julian Barbour concludes that neither time nor motion really exist......Hmmmm very interesting!!

Only one thing that makes me a bit skeptical (17:55 now to the video) is he saying the Big Band is necessary based on so simple ideas. The fact that his grid (or what it is) includes all the possible situations in an universes that has only 3 particles in it no way necessitates that there should be one where all the particles are together..

This can't be right. If it was this way then we are on a ride and have no free choice because of how quickly the next frame appears. Either that or we have control of what is ahead of us.

I do cannot think of an experiment, but it sure simplifies lots of things. For example, there could be no need for dark matter, also maybe the universe could not be expending at all. It would be a more beautiful more elegant explanation.

Somebody gets it!

That is what I always been arguing, there is no time, only a chain of events. Entropy is good enough for me.
