@commodorecrazycommanderofthe1stroyalbrigadeofspiceracksandcheese oh I see. That way of looking at time brings up the quandary of how we're able to both exist and progress at all though. If time may be said to be divisible into infinitesimal units then, given any finite number of those units, they invariably add up to nothing so it might be hypothesized that, if time existed in such a manner, then we'd never move forward in our existence. One way to reconcile that with the fact that we do appear to move forward may be to assume that, for any given (infinitesimal) unit of time, we exist for an infinitely long period of time so that the effect of moving forward can actually occur. But that seems over-complicated to me, so I prefer to think of time as not existing at all.
