i never meant to implicate you in that post. but i have to say i still believe that the opposite of your example is true, time is specifically relevant to a wide variety of theories but only when you want to be specific is time a necessary metric. time isn't necessary when considering a broad scope look at a general theory.

trully time is generally ignored in more equations that would greatly benefit from its addition, but given that most often time in an equation means that that result is only temporary science just makes general use of basic equations to cover all aspects of what is being studied. what does it matter that the equation isn't perfect because it will have to be redone for specific addition of a time variable, the point is that the basic equation and result are generally accurate.

and i thought science as a whole held high regard for its hypocritical nature, [arrogant self absorbed etc etc]... generalizations and such allow science to be correct most of the time while its only a matter of very little time to redo the math for specific instances where the general model isn't sufficiently accurate.
