Time is not a thing, is a mnemonic for counting movement.

There is no time, just movement. How do you measure time? You watch how something moves. If everything in the universe stopped moving, time wouldn&#x27;t pass. No movement, no time. Want to go back in time? Simple. Move every piece of matter and energy in the universe back to where it was. Since we can&#x27;t do that, time feels like it only moves in one direction.<p>The bigger question in my mind has always been Newton&#x27;s first law. Why does everything move forever? From the smallest quark to the largest black holes... Nothing ever stops. That&#x27;s weird.
