If you did not notice my question was asking you to describe time in MORE DETAIL . If time is an actual physical thing that DEFINITELY
exists as you are portraying it then EXPLAINING what time IS better and more clearly would some might say be easier to do
However as I wanted to show if some thing can NOT be very well and / or simply explained then just maybe it is NOT how it actually APPEARS to be
I cannot describe time in more detail because I do not know what it is
Thank you.
Now that we have established that already KNOWN FACT, let us move on.

TREE and DAM are not the same also, but just like your distinction it is an obvious fact of no actual use in showing here. Now, that we have got that out, just give what you THINK you KNOW 'time' to actually BE.
If all you can give is the same as what you write before, then just write "as above".

Sometimes you really do NOT come across that way.

Learn what exactly?
You can NOT really learn some thing when you keep insisting that some things are true, like for example: that 'time' actually exists.

The contradictory nature of Life some times shows up in unexpected places. See, being born as a human being you were once a True Observer, but because of the amazing ability of the human brain to learn, understand, and reason absolutely any, and every, thing, you have unfortunately learned absolutely distorted and wrong knowledge, learned how to understand it in a way that suits you, and learned how to reason it out.
But fortunately, if you NEVER believe/disbelieve any thing, and you do not to often make assumptions, then you can undo ALL of that distorted/wrong knowledge and learn HOW to Observe, and SEE/UNDERSTAND, like you want to, that is; without applying subjective interpretation, or unaffected and emotionless. You can still 'pretend to be' and 'act' like a human being, without being recognized, you will just be able to LOOK AT and SEE
what really IS, instead of
what (you just think) it IS.
You used to do this, so it is NOT an unnatural act. You just need to re-learn HOW to do it, AGAIN.
