How would you define "movement" without reference to "time"?
2 comments

Movement is simply matter going from point A to B. "Fast" or "slow" means, how far did our reference object (ex. Earth) move relative to the movement of another object.
Movement is an abstraction that connects discrete events.
But can you rigorously define "event" without time?
Better than "event" would be "state", as in theoretically measurable arrangement of things.
