--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_in_physics Can you name any form of measurement that doesn't include a transfer of energy? Or if that's too hard, can you show how the transfer of energy from one system to another, aka measurement, isn't a "phenomenon, body, or substance"? Note that "transfer" is the same as "motion" of energy.
I've already given you plenty of reference to study for yourself. If those don't help, there's nothing more I can do for you.
You haven't done anything "for" me. You've trotted out a bunch of pretty meaningless arguments. What does "a measurement isn't the same as the act of measurement" mean? Measurement is an act, so your argument looks contradictory. I've already studied plenty of reference material, which is what you need to do to get a degree. I'm reasonably confident that I understand what "time is not an operator in quantum mechanics" actually means. Since time isn't material, it can't operate on anything. Therefore it can't be an intrinsic property of anything material, but rather is derived by a process of measurement which is a transfer of energy. I understand that energy is the only really material thing in the universe, it has different "forms" in our observational paradigm, but energy is always energy independently of any abstraction, and time is not a form of energy.
You didn't understand the point about measurement, so it will probably do no good to repeat it. Apparently you need to study more, as "time is not an operator in quantum mechanics" has nothing to do with whether or not time is "material". "The problem is that the time at which the particle has a given state is not an operator belonging to the particle, it is a parameter describing the evolution of the system." -wiki" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamiltonian_%28quantum_mechanics%29
That's a shame, and you tried so hard, too. But time isn't material. Time can't act on anything, and as the wiki quote says, it's a parameter. What do you think "defined by measurement" means? A definition doesn't have to describe something material, does it?
While we may not attribute measurements to a physical time (spacetime) we can still attribute measureableness to it. BTW clocks ticking and even measuring oscillation of cesium-133 atom are representations of our perception of time.
