How about Instead of time you replace it with an (Energy Field) around a society, that would certainly gauge the direction in which an existance is going.
There is no movement without the change of energy.
How illusive is time? Very Illusive. How so? Go to another planet and check out its lifeforms and gauge it in the (field operation of time) and tell me what you get. If you are to gauge the overall advancement through a technological means and not a social one, how accurate would that be?
Really anything off this planet would place you into a different time arrangement. Every select planet out there has its own Unique Energy.
Why do think it is that people that go to the moon or just hover in a spaceship have no feel of time, because that energy is only unique to Earth. Without a gravity field it erases time.That is also why you do not need much energy out in space because the field of energy or the molecules of space around you is alive and aware. When you are floating around in a lower density enviroment you are actually replicating what it is to be in more of a spirit form.
So really those astronauts get a taste of what it is to be in a lighter form then the human flesh. They are taking their vehicle or body out into another form of energy and merging with its field of energy, and it so happens that gravity field is lessened and the effects on the minds consciousness would be altered or more free flowing.
See you move out into another civilisation outside this planet into another Solar system and now you see that there are beings made out of light that are breaking every law you have in you laws of physical mechanics and physics. You can't gauge them because your vision can't grasp the speed or intervals they are moving, they are moving so fast that it appears they are standing still when in essence they are doing laps around your (time mechanism.) You have just found out that they don't consume food, they already have an internal drive that creates all the energy they need, they don't need food because they are energy. They go through walls which with our three dimensional based laws is impossible, they bend time like a rubber band but weave everything together. Their speed is near impossible in a body yet they are doing the unithinkable. They are traveling at the speed of light or faster by traveling through something smaller then sub-atomic particle units. They are traveling on Particle Waves, is the closest denomination you can classify it under without re-inventing another TIME ARRANGEMENT. You are now seriously wondering should I classify it at all. Or should I let the Mind remain open to new possibilities.
The Gravity on a planet is an 'Intelligently Designed' feat.
Without the right energetic patterninig those bodies on Earth would be pulled off into another world or another living arrangement, outside Earth which happens frequently.
