A video by physicist Julian Barbour explaining how time is an illusion based on the theories of Mach and Einstein.

It is very mind blowing in its implications.

I watched the video twice so that I could get a better "feel" for the subject. He is right about time it is indeed a concept. Though I am uncertain to his definition of motion, motion certainly exists. Motion is context. We, humans and other rational paradigms, lack the capacity to sense movement. It is the change of context that we "see" and it is the binding of sensory flow that allows for abstraction. All experience is polymorphic, however our inability to "see" both change in context (motion) and bind the flow (movement) of information into an abstraction concurrently leads us to believe that experience is linear. We miss things because "we sacrifice the whole truth of any given experience for the value to which we are constrained". The "now" is the event horizon. As to snap shots of "now" having structure, how about using context instead. Countless others possibilities do exist it just that they are inexpressed. Inexpression is defined as those attributes of points that lie undisclosed within a given density
