For most creatures on the seabed, in eternal darkness and far from seasonal effects, swimming in a constant field of energy that feeds them regardless of all other factors, what does the word time mean? Besides, "the measure of my waking till my sleep? The distance and time taken travelling between my home and my feeding ground?
Creatures live in underground caves cut off from all that could give it relative meaning. Short answer is, if you stay within the confines of a blind, bottom feeding fish with very little awareness beyond its own limited existence, you will only associate what you view as time with what your awareness is capable of relating.
People argue about flat earth because the ability for anyone in debate to travel off planet easily is central to the never-ending debate. The fish in the isolated zones must have the same debates but of course, given their evolutionary dependence on their local environment, none CAN prove there is such a thing as a sky and sun and wind. It remains a myth.

The age of Truth is over. It began with the printing press and ended with algorithmic audio and video generation. Nothing can be trusted to be true anymore unless you see it with your own eyes, just as everyone who, before books could be codified, had to simply “take the word” of the messenger or ✡merchant✡ as he traveled from town to town.
Can life perceive its own inception and death?
