Sure there are zeroes and minuses. Temprature is a scalar, so it cannot be; a vector can be though. For example, if I'm walking backwards, I have negative velocity in relation to the direction in which I am pointing.

Yea I'm no physicist of course and of course it doesn't matter what I think and I wasn't trying to define time nor try to convince anyone but I was merely showing to point that the past is nothing but a recollection of our memory and tomorrow is just wishful thinking. The whole space is perpetually at the present(My question is more philosophical than scientific)

Does time still exist in still universe? or never changing universe?


As for speed as a vector that would still indicate a measurement with the plus assigned for a direction and a minus the exact opposite of other.
Or it's simply a symbol-logy of exact opposite. In other words you need reference by assigning a direction a positive one. In plain RL it would simply called moving backwards at say 0.3 m/s. You can't show a negative still. Positive and negative remains a concept for all I know. An applicable one but still a concept nonetheless and it's the same with time a concept, an applicable concept but it remains a concept.


I don't try to belittle mathematics in any mean btw

And by that definition of time what if nothing(absolute nothing) ever changed(or more simply ever moved) in a universe would then time still exist?
And what if in that ever unchanging dimension(or ever still to put it simpler) you or me(as awareness) was placed there for eternity, now would there be time then since time is registered in our head though no change or what you said movement took place ever?
