As far as listing my site, I only meant it tongue-in-cheek, I wasn't being serious. Actually, the conjecture posted at the site has major flaws, pointed out by Phobos in the particle physics forum, some time back. It kind of tickled my funny bone, when I read that nothing moves in space-time, as I wondered how a judge would react to the idea on a speeding ticket. On the other hand, your idea sounds remarkably like an idea developed by Julian Barbour, that posits that there is no time, just frozen snapshots of matter in different configurations. I just bought his book, but have only gotten a little way in. Julian Barbour has an excellent website describing his idea, which I understand is taken very seriously by certain members of the physics community. In a way, his idea seems to parallel quantum physics concepts, and perhaps in the end will turn out to be right.
