Allow me to say this now in a much simpler form.



Imagine I am an object you wish to observe. I am about 100meters away from you. We are in a pitch field. I can see you (because you have a candle), but you can not see me. My job as an object is to perform an action, then write and/or draw that action down on a piece of paper, fold it into the shape of a paper airplane, and fly it to your location. You then pick up the paper airplane, and unfold it and find out what I am doing.

The first action I perform is I put both hands strait up in the air and shake them. I then write this down on a piece of paper, fold it into a plane, and toss it so that it flies to you.
(For the sake of the argument, these are special airplanes that fly very strait and very far)
You then open the paper and read the action I just performed, as well as small drawing.


Now, if we consider that the paper airplane is like light that carries information about distant objects, then we can say that the paper is neither created or destroyed, it only changes form.

Because the paper contains the information of what I did at a point in time, and you depend entirely on that paper alone to explain the events happened at a specific time in my location, then everything the paper contains is conserved and can only transform.

And if we believe energy and time are essentially the same idea (motion creates time, time allows motion) than time is conserved and not ejected or injected to or from the present.
