We only know time indirectly from measuring movement, earth around the sun, hands around a clock. If everything stopped moving, we would not be able to tell time.

If everything were frozen in place, you couldn’t say how long it were frozen for. One second? A million years? No difference.

Time seems like an emergent property of movement. But I’m starting to think it’s all an emergent property of consciousness without which there is no way to tell whether there’s something or nothing.
