Here's another way of thinking about time;

We are mobile organisms, logically necessitating this sequence of perceptions, by which we experience our reality, as a function of navigating our world.

So our experience of this phenomena of time is as the point of the present moving past to future. Which culture incorporates as narrative and physics codifies as measures of duration.

The reality is that change turns future to past. Tomorrow becomes yesterday, because the earth turns. Potential>actual>residual. Duration is the present, as the events coalesce and dissolve.

There is no literal dimension of time, because the past is consumed by the present, to inform and drive it. Aka, causality and conservation of energy. Cause becomes effect.

Different clocks can run at different rates simply because they are separate actions. Think metabolism.

That culture is about getting everyone following the same rules, using the same measures, it might seem there is a universal, Newtonian flow of time, but it's rabbit time, turtle time, tree time, etc. The turtle is still plodding along, long after the rabbit has died.

Time is asymmetric, because it is a measure of action and action is inertial. The earth only turns one direction. Entropy is a second order effect and not what is measured.

That different events are observed in different order from different locations, is no more consequential than seeing the moon as it was a moment ago, simultaneous with seeing stars as they were years ago. It's the energy that's conserved, not the information. That the information changes is time.

The energy is conserved, because it is the present, creating time, as well as temperature, pressure, color and sound. Time is frequency, events are amplitude.

Ideal gas laws correlate volume with temperature and pressure, but we don't refer to them as dimensions of space, even though they are as foundational to our emotions and bodily functions as time is to the sequence of thought.

As present, the energy goes past to future, while the patterns generated go future to past. Energy drives the wave, while the fluctuations rise and fall.

Consciousness also goes past to future, while the perceptions, emotions and thoughts giving it form and structure go future to past. Though it's the digestive, respiratory and circulatory systems processing the energy, feeding the flame, while the central nervous system sorts the information.

As for space, three dimensions are just a mapping device, like longitude, latitude and altitude.

If all physical properties are removed, the two remaining non-physical qualities of space are infinity and equilibrium. Which is implicit in the frame with the longest ruler and fastest clock.

So what fills this space is energy and form. The energy radiates out, toward infinity, while the form coalesces in, toward equilibrium. Thus galaxies. Between black body radiation and black holes.

Space appears curved, because synchronization is centripetal, while harmonization is centrifugal. Thus nodes and networks, organisms and ecosystems, particles and fields, galaxies and the universe.
