Why Is There No Beyond-Time?

Why Is There No Beyond-Time?

«The concept of time is not abstract, since it is regarded as the measure of motion, without which no change or transformation can occur. Time is one aspect of the third manifestation of knowledge in the universe, though there is no consensus on its precise meaning.»

Question: Does timelessness not exist, since time was not created but is abstract, and therefore cannot be used to establish timelessness?

Answer:
No consensus has yet been reached on the nature of time. It is certainly not an abstract concept: even if, for the sake of argument, we regard time as the unit of motion, without that unit no change or transformation could take place.

Time is a spectrum of the third manifestation of knowledge in the universe.
