Can any physicist confirm time doesn’t exist? It always infuriated me, there seems to be no time, since it’s just an abstraction to describe some isolated process.
However, in case we’re in simulation and universe is one flowy atomic process then time is indeed a property that exists and governs everything like a video editor control line.

Is it a good idea to study physics (I’m 25, biz so money is not an issue for me no more) in the university from scratch for me?
I am a programmer but would like to have a stab eventually at my own theory of everything (after I sufficiently educate myself)
