Merely a ticking shadow.

Time is not singular. Time is a shared product. Time is the byproduct of movement. For time to exist, there must be movement. If time does have the same authority as movement then time is a duality because time is not whole by itself. In two ways, time is a shared product. The first way is the fact that time itself must have movement to exist. The second way is time does not belong to one individual movement. If one thing moves then time exists for all things. This means if you choose not to move, but someone else does choose to move, then your time is ticking equal to the person who is moving. When the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the deep in Genesis, time started ticking for all things. To stop time you must stop all movement. The big bang was an explosion that caused all matter to move, which equally caused time to exist for all matter.
