In order for the passing of time to occur, time has to have the ability for change: time has to be able to cause its own passing. Instead, consider that each particle individually has the ability for change, and time is a measurement based on how much a particular particle changes (photon). In this context, light travels the furthest distance relative to any other particle, and thus our light clock allows us to invent the concept of time based on how far light travels. When light travels a greater distance in one region of space relative to another, the number of passes inside of the light clock in each RF differs giving rise to time dilation. This would solve many of the philosophical problems that plague cosmology. This would explain why each RF measures their speed of light to be c.
