>What properties does your ether possess, then?
The cause of properties is not a property.

>Regardless, do you deny that the concept of time has a use in describing the way that the universe seems to function and building a framework of knowledge that attempts to allow us to understand why it functions as it does?

"A" way it functions but not "the" way. To understand "why" it functions the way it does is more of a philosophical question.

>Fucksake. I've seen you post this exact statement probably a hundred times.

Because it's so simple to understand once you provide a comparison. Also it doesn't get through the thick skulls of people that actually believe its real. It is literally a measurement of something that is real.

Technically "time" isn't even that. It's a measurement of the actions of something that is real...something that doesn't even have a "concreteness" to it. Telling me two balls rotate around each other at a specific speed over a period of this arbitrary measurement of an action doesn't tell me jack shit about what the "balls" are or why they're rotating. All it does is describe to me just that. 2 balls rotating around each other, only now we've included this arbitrary standard of measure. You're still describing it. You haven't told me why they're rotating or why they exist or even if they exist.

It's useful for reproducing and recording though. That is what measurements are for.
