>>13371833what you misidentify as "time" is merely macroscopic subjective patterns of systemic frequency. the more accurate you make a clock the closer it is to atomic and subatomic harmonics. Decay itself is contingent, and ultimately the variable is relative unto itself, which, is timeless. motion, frequency is merely change relative to points of reference via a cartesian metric.
cartesian metrics do not exist, the nature of which you seek within the realm of atomism is a syntax error but how grand is the grand canyon, how words are words? space itself is sterile, a true zero.
this zero is infinite, as defined by being zero. infinites cannot exist in isolation, and thus 0 becomes 1 eventually. by being two zeros, going on forever and ever and ever, it's quite hard to readily fathom, but follow it with me now. zero, divided by signed zeros, will lead to a rounding error within the infinite and the result is null>0.
you now have the higher dimensions than the first dimension, all of them recursive matrushka dolls in the oragami of the universe. this is the origin story of matter.
