Look, I'm just listing the properties ascribed to time that sets it apart from distance, not taking a position as to their correctness or how accurate the similes are. If you are ready to accept the timeless unchanging universe that's fine by me, just acknowledge that is what you argue for.

Calling it “timeless and unchanging” is as incorrect as calling it “x-axis-less and dζ/dx is always exactly zero for all possible variables ζ“.

I think you need to be precise with language for this sort of thing, and avoid similies everywhere, or you’ll run into the same sort of problems quantum physicists have with “observations collapse the wave function” being misunderstood as “conscious minds collapse the wave function”.
