In this page, to start with, time is considered to be a fictitious idea in our minds.
And as such, time is also considered to be non-physical that is not part of reality.

Following is a "mental" analysis of our own "mental" concepts.

Why do we believe that time exist?

Where does the confusion come from?

1. Because our minds deal exclusively with ideas, our minds treat indistinctively the physical and the non-physical. In reverse our minds find it natural to project back into the real physical world the non-physical concept of time.
   In short, the physical and the non physical are identical, both are ideas within the scope of our thinking. And that is a direct cause of confusion.
    
2. Then the physical may also be not material just as time! For instance the phenomenon of gravitation is immaterial, yet it is physical as it moves objects while they are falling.
   Now in addition to the fact that our minds deal with ideas only, these very ideas may coincide to non-material entities that may be either physical as gravitation is, or non-physical as time is.
   In short, the similarity that exists between a non-material phenomenon and our idea of time further confuses the issue.
    
3. And light rays are always in motion or dynamic just as our idea of time is. Now our minds have little ways to distinguish what might differentiate the reality of non-material, dynamic phenomenon such as light rays from our own built-in concept of dynamic time.
   In short, the idea we have of a non-material, dynamic yet physical phenomenon such as light has a lot in common with the non-material, dynamic idea we have of time. And down three levels of abstraction (coinciding to this list items 1. 2. and 3.) the similarities persist; the deeper we dig the stronger the confusion between the physical and the non physical!
    
4. In spite of our extraordinary power of abstraction, we human are totally ignorant as to the essence of gravitation and of light rays! As such being also ignorant as to the (alleged) essence of time does not present any problem to our thinking process, and in our minds that adds to that physical / non-physical confusion!
    
5. Another factor of confusion yet, is the reality of the phenomenon of life. Let's face it we do not know what life is made of either! As such the (unknown) essence of life could possibly be similar to the (alleged) essence of time; but that is unlikely though, because the phenomenon of life is definitely intertwined with matter, and our concept of time is not.

• Believe it or not, there is a direct and pragmatic way to lift the ambiguity, and that is using (click) Einstein's time dilation and re-interpreting it!
• Then a mental (rather than physical) way to lift the confusion is to provide an interpretation of the universe and its contents devoid of time and space. And this is precisely what the book on your left accomplishes; to start with, simply read the title, then get it and find out for yourself!
• Finally any confusion is unambiguously dissipated in finding out whether or not the equivalent in the real world of our (mental) concepts can be interacted with or create interactions of themselves.
  Some examples of specific interactions, which lift ambiguity, are listed in (click): Does time exist? Home page.
