(As an aside, I view tipping over the hourglass to start anew is a perfect analogy for the biblical ‘new dispensation of time.’ But who or what does the tipping?

Maybe moving through RW’s 360 a weird type of coriolis effect takes hold , a reversal? at some point? as you move thru time, at which what aspect of time is contiguous to what aspect of time as the determining factor, causing the appearance of having been tipped.
This is probably too muddled (Fubar) but having a hard time trying to find the correct wording.
Thank g for my day job.

My question would be when the sand in the top has passed through the passageway (manifests as the STAGE upon which the present is performed in a linear fashion -- the quantum) does it go to a collecting point called the 'past' -- the bottom of the hourglass and await further use -- which amounts to a very literal end of time for a season until someone turns the glass upside down again.

And when time ceases to function, nothing in the universe moves. In fact, the universe blinks of completely, for space, matter, and time are interlinked so dependently and so tightly that when one ceases to function, the other two stop functioning as well and the universe blinks off.

Back to your question: Maybe the past is actually the causality of the future and the future is the causality of the past. The present is both a suction machine and a leaf blower at the same time. Sucking time from the future and blowing the residue into the past.
