Philosophy Overdose
A few clips about the puzzling nature of time and our undeniable experience of temporal flow in the face of the static conception of the universe that is suggested by modern science. This comes from a program on time a few years back. The three speakers featured were Dagfinn Føllesdal, Hugh Mellor, and Paul Churchland.

Aside from the particular question in this segment it is crucial to understand that this predisposition in humans for the perception of time and space is essentially, many pages and words later, the basis for a moral instance which is not god, to be quasi existent a priori, also known as the categorical imperative.
What show is this video clip taken from?
Clearly nothing ever happened in the world until minds arrived. Then Eve ate the apple and the rest is history. Philosophers furrow their brows so that they will appear to be thinking. They are not.
Everyone talking about time and no one says anything about Motion. Time is child of motion.
Regarding the comment that modern science denies time, Lee Smolin would have a word or two to say about that!
Can one truly imagine anything existing outside of time?
TIME is one of the most interesting concepts in which physics and philosophy overlap… i don't think there is enough here for me to overdose on, PO… be merciful!… i've been sober for a month!
So many questions raised! Two of which could be:
Is time then based off of our instruments of measurement?
Or the movement of bodies?
And if so, it seems to be implied that the greatest bodies on which such a universal relativity could be upheld are solar and planetary — which brings us back to the traditional viewpoint of time. And then we’d ask:
Is it the celestial (solar and planetary) bodies themselves that issue, order, and invoke time?
In response to that, we’d get to play dress up as the earliest star gazers (astrologists), mathematicians, and calendar makers, and consider the proper way to describe the orbital motion of celestial bodies as we witness our neighboring planets undergo their gravity dances in the sky. Time seems to be, more than anything else we grapple and interact with in our every day, of the essence of inevitability.
It would be nice if all of these talking heads were identified, if only in the notes below.
KANT!… KANT!!… KANT!!!
Depends on which planet you're on.
