Thank you so much for the heads up to your post to logos! Great analysis!

Another way to put this might be to say that isolating time into a "static" unit will not be sufficient for the purpose of complete accuracy WRT examining something that is not itself static, and never can be static in principle. We and all of nature are all moving, all the time.

The alternative is the one which you, betty boop, raised earlier today - that of extra time dimensions.

On the multiple time dimension scenario, thought you'd like to know...

I’ve discovered that it is evidently the implications of an extra time dimension that causes the notion to be shunned by physicists.

With a single time dimension we have a timeline where order exists, i.e. before this, after that. Add another time dimension, and that timeline becomes a plane – and there is no past or future hence cause and effect get muddled (physics must have causation) … objects travel faster than light, etc.

Nevertheless, a few brave scientists have ventured into the possibilities and the results are quite interesting.

Constraints on Extra Time Dimensions (discussing the possibility that gravity can propagate through extra time dimensions)

f-Theory

The possibilities open a can of worms but at the same time may (in my view only) offer a key to quantum gravity, dark energy and a few other mysteries. Naturally, all of this resistance only makes the subject all the more curious to me!
