What is the alternate to time?

The gears of a clock    Look at the picture of the gears of the clock. Now should we forget to rewind the spring, the gears will stop. And because we think that time is given by the clock, we should also think that time stops when the clock stops!
   But we do not! Whether the clock runs or not we nevertheless think that time continues!

   There is an obvious contradiction between what we claim is time through our physical measure of it, and what we think is time. The contradiction is that the clock can stop while time continues. The contradiction is in between the clock’s reality and our abstract concept of time.
   In this website, we simply remain in the real world! Because our concept of time does not follow suit and is not linked to the physical motion that is occuring within the material mechanism of the clock, we conclude that our concept of time is elusive and doesn't have any physical collateral.
   Our concept of time is not physically linked to the motion occuring within the clock because time can as if by magic become detached from the clock should the later slow down or stop.
   The physical phenomenon of motion that is activating the clock for sure is real; our concept of time is an intellectual-byproduct of that motion. The idea of time within our mind is the byproduct of a one way process that starts with our observation of the happening of the motion of the hands of the clock, and which outcome is pure imagination as in the end the physical motion is no longer needed! And it is a one way process (not functional the other way, from thought to reality), as our idea of time is unable to run any physical apparatus, let alone a clock.

   Another hint that time (as we conceive it) has no physical collateral is found in the very measures we make of time.
   It turns out that no measure of unit of time, invented by us human, coincide with another!
   Take the day that coincides to the succession of days and nights, that day does not coincide to an exact number of days within a year.
   So the "universal time" measured through a "day" doesn't fit the" universal time "measured through a "year"!
   Is that not proof that our human specific definition of time day has no physical colateral? For this writer, that argument alone dismisses time!
   Now if you consider a "second", as defined through an atomic clock, that "second" doesn't fare better!
   The atomic clock's second is irreconciliable with our day to day second!

   Besides, suffice you bring the atomic clock in altitude and its "standard" varies! In altitude a clock runs faster!
   Suffice you move the atomic clock around and here goes again its precision of a billonth second per year! When in motion a clock runs slower!
   What kind of "entity" is that "time" that cannot be pinned down, even with the most accurate devices we can imagine?

   No matter the measurement device chosen, time is based on the motion of something.
   All in all time is an elusive concept derived out of the reality of motion and doesn't have any physical alternative.

Time has to be physically ignored...
In the gravimotion interpretation of Nature, introduced in the book referenced below, time is disregarded, only motion is considered to be physical.

SUMMARY: In reality time doesn't exist and there is no need for an alternate to time in reality!
In our minds time does exist, and to get in tune with reality, we need to replace it by something!
In the gravimotion interpretation of Nature, that something is motion.
