Time is a holistic concept. Once contact has been made between the past and future, the present is the only thing that can exist. Imagine a society that has managed to come into contact with the future. Now imagine that travel between the two is established. Every contact with the past would interact with the future, and everything in the future would be constantly coming back further in the past until everything reached a unified time equilibrium. Time will cease to exist as a measurable constant.
"I have realized that the past and future are real illusions, that they exist in the present, which is what there is and all there is."
-Alan WattsTime is not a constant, it is something that can be infinintely varied with different velocities. If the amount of something is infinite, thus it ceases to contain any division or separateness and everything becomes a part of a undefinable whole.
