==Abstract==

Some common and prevalent attitudes toward time and motion are discussed relative to basic features of nature.  Using the concept that motion is a basic feature of nature, it is shown that a clock can be used as a motion (displacement) indicating device.  Selecting the earth?s rotation as a standard of motion, and with the selection of the proper standard distance of motion, it is shown how motion can be treated in the same way that length and mass are treated.  It is also shown, by the selection of unique subdivisions of the standard distance of motion, a concept of physics is derived in which motion replaces time as a basic feature but is numerically equal to the system in current use.  It is concluded that time is the scalar component of displacement, thus reducing the number of dimensions of the universe from four to three.  While no change in current mathematics of physics is needed or recommended, a different attitude toward nature may be required of physicists to better understand the universe.
