Well, the steel changing due to shaking is due to time.

It is one of the time experiments Kozyrev has done.

Nothing can occur in space without time passing.

This appears to be incorrect.
At least in a linear time model.

If you think about teleportation. An item being one place, and then another. What happens to the linear time-space model?

Or what about objects that are in several places at once?

Time may actually be pulses, in which the universe is recreated trillions of time a second.
Time, would thus be the energy that creates life.
