How is that? Can you please define time first, before you give it such deistic qualities as all that?

How can motion measuring motion become such a big problem? When I ask you guys what time is, you can't provide me with a good explanation, but when you start to talk about it, suddenly you're all but experts on the subject.

Why do we run into infinite regression if everything did not happen at once? Care to explain this point, please?
