I believe time has something to do with perception. I believe we cannot understand time for time, but through a reflection of perception. If one exists in an extra dimension, then of course the being possess a greater perception than we of our physical world. Can you explain the meaning of a third dimension to someone who lives on a paper? on a line? and likewise, can you even perceive what it is like to live in two dimensions? sure, you can have models and theories but they are far from a comprehensive answer if there is one. The changes of understanding, based on an increased "perception", does not add to each other, not even mutiply. It increases at a rate greater than exponetiatial, that is why our brains cannot comprehend "time" of its truest form, simply said, we humans lack the perception.

time is both changes and stops, one point at any position or all positions, infinitely large or small.

Time is like a diamond of infinitely faces. One can view it from any direction and reach the same conclusion but never as a whole. Any of its faces is only a reflection, a glipse.

My math teacher once gave me an example "Imagine a line infinitely long, SO long that its both ends came together and formed a circle." There could be many ways to explain this. For one, the length is so great that we humans perceive any part of it, in our life's time, as a line. Perception.
