I suspect that it's an illusion.

Time is a measurement ... On Earth we measure the number or rotations the Earth does between darkness & lightness (Days) ... Number of times the moon is full to non-existent (months) ... and Number of times the Earth circles the Sun (Years, Decades, Centuries, Millenniums).
Lets take our measurements outward ... the next rotation would be to measure how long it takes for the Sun to circle the Galaxy ... Then does the Galaxy rotate around an object like the "Big- Bang" point of origin??? (Many astronomers disclaim this) ... Further, is there anything the origin of the Big Bang circles??? So in a very real way, we are living in a universe with no time that we can measure with our tools and knowledge.

I've tried to think about that, but it is like trying to imagine living without ANY of your five physical senses. The best I can offer about configuration is thinking about a Klein's bottle... a three dimensional figure with only one side. That might scratch the surface if we apply it to our perception of change.

The closest thing that I could imagine it to be would be like a movie screen compared with real life - you are limiting a dimension in the movie screen (no depth).
Without time - everything would be done instantly, and would take infinity to complete.
Perhaps time is a base, required dimension that without, no other dimension could function.

No it is not an illusion. It is a reality. God only knows how it will be configured . *sorry it slipped*

It's hard to conceive of because we are conditioned to think of time as being a linear progression- quantum mechanics suggests that that perception might not be true however.

Turn on you vcr/dvd player. Set it to pause. Stare at the screen until you understand.

By converting it to black hole energy.
You need to collapse the centers and
that allows the "quarks" to cave in.
(bear in mind, time is only energy
changing )
