I guess I don't see where time has any meaning. Time is more than an abstract concept for the convenience of peoples discussions. Time is an entire dimension of the universe on par with the three spacial dimensions. While I have been speculating that time was in fact the same kind of dimension viewed from a different perspective, it appears that concept doesn't hold up. I have previously considered that time is just the way we perceive the expansion of the other dimensions, but that concept has not revealed any predictive experiments (at least to me). I've been more concerned about my garden and Texas floods lately. There is a small aspect about the singularity of time that I sometimes ponder. Quantum events are often thought to exist as a probability until an aspect of it is actually measured at which time it becomes fixed including entangled aspects that were not directly measured. When something is measured, it has to be measured in the NOW. What I ponder is that the quantum uncertainty is resolved not by the actual measurement, but because the measurement forces the quantum effect to enter the NOW singularity in time. The interesting part is that even though the quantum aspect of a particle gets frozen in place the actual particles are not frozen in time and continue to exist and interact with the rest of the universe. It seems that they gain a new measure of quantum uncertainty.

Meaning that the space we perceive and are tuned to seems to change at a steady pace... Yes, there seems to be a steady pace ... I also sometimes wonder if time is steady, that is to say there are an infinite number of transitions from one second to the next, or is it possible that time "ticks" at some quantum level. I could be that any change that happens between "ticks" is the source of quantum uncertainty. Once again I lack the math skills to devise a test for such notions.
