A couple of questions I've tried asking over the years;

Is time the present moving past to future, or is it change, turning future to past? Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns.

In which case, time is an effect and measure of activity, like temperature, pressure, color, sound. Frequencies and amplitudes. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Another;

Is math descriptive, or explanatory? For example, epicycles really were brilliant math, as description of our view of the cosmos. It was just that the crystalline spheres proposed to explain them, were lousy physics.

It is a map versus territory issue and many in the theoretical community assume math to be platonic, as an underlaying order, rather than emergent with the forms and processes it describes. That there is no form and thus order in the vacuum and it only emerges with the activity of the energy. Processes create patterns.

Which would explain why logic is not complete.

Safe to say, these questions tend to be dismissed, not answered. Academia has become a bureaucracy.

Nature goes in cycles. Be careful your tools don't become your gods.
