Abstract
The 'nature of time' expressed through the concept of a 'Solid' Universe consisting of various vibrating fields the interacting result of which, is matter. the underlying assumption being, that without matter, time cannot exist. So explain what matter is and you get closer to an understanding of what 'the nature of time is'.This essay then goes on to try to explain in the terms above, properties of matter, including inertia, gravity and the energies associated with it.Also the big bang,the big crunch and before and after these major events.
