As usual, Harrie spits. And say
nonsenses about things he admits he
doesn't know much about. Well,
it's not usual that he admits.

Oh, there is a wide variety of things
that change in nature. Time, however,
is not any of them. There is no time
in nature. It's a purely  virtual abstract
invented by humans - for the purpose of
describing. Describing nature and other
things.
Time is almost always present in  any
description of anything.  That's why
it appears for weak minds to be something
real.

Clocks are clocks, theories are theories.
Time is obviously not any of them.

As for coordinates - we have created a
number of them, and about 20-30 of them
are times.
