universe without time, could there be any change?
Yes, but it would not be change as we know it. Change would look diifferent.
Comment on What is the purpose and meaning of time?

My simplistic answer, time exists so we can quantify change. In a static universe without time, could there be any change? Without change, there is no life.

What could it be then? Or is this just poetry?

What
I don’t think we have an esay word for it.
We are living in time, so it is difficult to imagine how things look like outside of time.

Fair enough.

That’s a very interesting hypothesis…

Imagine all moments of your life existing as a continuum- like a movie. When you don’t watch the movie, it still exists and there are still changes - the beginning is different from the end. But the changes are spatial, not temporal. It’s more like a painting that you can admire as a whole. Does that mean there’s no life? I really don’t know.
