Dear NotStein:
There is no observed or known condition of energy, mass, space, etc., bereft of motion, which is
synonymous with time; hence the term 'timotion', originated in the observation, 'gravity - includes time and motion - is the 4th dimension'.
(Until further notice, the cessation of all motion - Absolute Zero Kelvin - remains unknown and unachieved in the laboratory and unobserved in Nature.)
Einstein proved that 'time is the 4th dimension'. Ergo, the 4th dimension includes motion.
Time = Motion = Timotion. Einstein is acknowledged as having proved that timotion is a dimension.
(End of statement of the obvious - with which many still take vacant issue, i.e., 'time isn't a dimension'.)
A condition of absolute non motion, it is true, would be timeless, but, again, until further notice, there is no motionless condition.
Time, like metric mathematics, is indeed, apparently a man made tool - obliged to conform to and accurately measure and describe existential conditions. Proclaiming that there is no time, is, in this manner, tantamount to proclaiming that there is no metric mathematics. But as long as their are 'things' to describe and measure, there will be the tool of metric mathematics, and, as long as their is motion, their will be the descriptive tool of measuring time.
