Without events occuring there can be no meaning for the concept of time.
Events are changes in environment. Changes in environment are produced
by motion of objects in environment. If there is motion there is no time.
When motion is more fundamental than time, how is it we take time to be
a fundamental quantity and describe motion in terms of time?

If a sensible object is first here and then there, this does not constitute
motion. But still there is a sequence of events in time.
I arrange a timer to beam a laser diode on a wall, then a second, then a
third each pointing at a different place.
Is there not stillness? But time is still associated with each event.
I say motion is not more fundamental.
