Based on the comments, there seems to be a barrier to the capabilities of our understanding timespace, which makes it extremely difficult to explain or teach, but that doesn't make it less interesting. The existential barrier lies in understanding time as a benefit to survival. There's little benefit to most of us I can see. In fact, you could argue that an understanding of time-space may lead one to conclude "what is the point of getting up and going to work?" On the other hand, engaging with time as understood by the frog (in the article) and using it to survive better in the future (i.e., make more money and whatnot), is a definitive advantage to birds, frogs, and physicists alike. According to this view, the most useful application of time-space as a concept are science fiction books and movies, which may produce income. Otherwise, there's not yet a clear product to go along with the research, which we can point to and say, "See! There is time-space. $9.99 on sale." I guess such a perspective may reveal me as an economist. News to me. Perhaps by not studying economy (and merely staying in the same place) time-space has delivered to me an understanding of the subject of economy.
