well this kind of substantiates the sheer relativity of time, doesn't it?

with planet revolutions and such, there is movement, yes,
with movements come changes - seasonal and such,

but again, the "measuring" of these is specifically human and
relative to each culture, history, context, need, and so on.

i'd say that movement exists and changes take place because of movements,
but to lift this into a "proof" of time is particular, not universal.
