"This actually happened to me 60 years ago while waiting for a traffic light to change - one moment the light as there and the next gone, only to reappear a few intervals later "

Yep! Know what you went through... Several years ago one of my socks instantaneously disappeared while I was carrying the laundry basket downstairs... Last year it reappeared underneath my bed inside one of my gun cases...

I started to write a paper on the subject to publish in Physical Review, but changed my mind when the first draft of the paper I was writing instantaneously disappeared while my wife was dusting my bookcases...

1 chronon = one unit of discrete time.

Well that's what I heard 30 years ago. That was a long time ago.

Don’t worry, it will turn up in your car boot under the spare tire next year.

“In heaven we’ll be outside of time”.

We’ll be in eternity marked by time as I understand it based on the passage from revelation 22 verse 2“On each side of the river was the tree of life, which bears fruit twelve times a year, once each month; “.
