All the silly cartoons you post will not distract any thinking person from realizing just how intellectually bankrupt your theory is; for there is no remedy to rescue your lame theory from the triple-use of time. And you know this, which is why you post your childish cartoons.
Most of us see that the wanna-be Science Emperor of this forum is totally naked. It's no wonder at all that you played the coward card by not accepting the terms of my wager with respect to how effects can often precede causes in the world of human activities.

Colorado drops case against Christian baker Jack Phillips for refusing to make transgender cake
https://www.christianpost.com/news/c...8d6009-2992089
This is a big victory for Evangelical Christians here in America. I have to think other states will tread carefully before expressing their strong antichrist bias in a manner similar to the way Colorado did -- at least with the current make up of the Supreme Court.

One of you thinks time is linear. It isn't.

Linear with respect to what?

Oh...so we recycle time over and over and over? No time ever makes it to the landfill, eh?
And tell us, please, how many times have you physically gone back to relive some of the greatest, happiest moments of your years?

Most of your nonsense should be buried deep in a landfill. 
Time is not "used up" Your backwards phlogiston theory of TIME.....
The phlogiston theory is a superseded scientific theory that postulated that a fire-like element called phlogiston (/flɒˈdʒɪstən, floʊ-, -ɒn/)[1] is contained within combustible bodies and released during combustion. The name comes from the Ancient Greek φλογιστόν phlogistón (burning up), from φλόξ phlóx (flame). It was first stated in 1667 by Johann Joachim Becher, and then put together more formally by Georg Ernst Stahl. The theory attempted to explain processes such as combustion and rusting, which are now collectively known as oxidation.

But Time is used. Time is consumed. Time can be spent. Time can be wasted. Time can be redeemed. Every single one of us knows these things intuitively. Why do you think every working person on this little green planet gets paid for his/her TIME? 
Time is a very precious commodity.

Time can be distorted by mass.

Question makes no sense. We decided to call a straight line "linear." So linear is linear with respect to linear.

I knew the term "redeem" would throw you for a loop.

If
Y = aX + b
where a and b are constants then (by definition) Y is linear with respect to X. Y is the dependent variable and X the independent variable. Therefore if
T = aX + b
where T is time, the question then is "what is X?"

Three different observers in three different reference frames observe event A and event B. It is possible for one observer to observe event A preceding event B, while another observes event B preceding event A, and the third observes both A and B as simultaneous. All three are correct.

Interesting. Can you give a real life concrete example of that occurrence?
