I need to eliminate "time" as a physical entity. ...My Universe is everything that is, and is ... eternal
I will, up front, state my opinion that time is not a real physical thing and is a mental concept that we have have adopted to explain relative motion and all of it's ramifications.
entropy evolution
If there is no time, then everything is eternal, including the coin in my hand stamped with "2006".
It is true that the "2006" on the coin is mental: a number in my mind.But it is also physical: an imprint on the coin, which was formed by a moving metal press in the mint.
"Entropy evolution" implies time.The Greek philosopher Zeno toyed with some ideas like this - that there was no such thing as time or motion.
No matter how good he was as a philosopher, he failed as a mathematician - he could not imagine that adding an infinite quantity of things (no matter how small) could amount to a finite quantity.
" some things, even physical things, are Unknowable"
First, I need to eliminate "time" as a physical entity.

That, in my opinion, is because you seem to be hung up on insisting that time is a physical reality in spite of the lack of any physical evidence. As you know, I think time is just a mental concept that helps us to understand the dynamics of motion and thereby helps us understand EVERYTHING.
A duration of existence can speed up or slow down, it depends how close you are to a star or gravitational body.

We do not have any physical evidence as to the duration of existence within gravity wells. Clocks rates change, that's true. We aren't clocks. Beyond that, it's anyone's best guess at this point. Objectively, the answer is unknown in physics. I will add, if you get too close to the stars gravitational field, any answer becomes somewhat pointless. Your clock stops abruptly, just like your snowman.

If you were to travel to the sun the field is so dense when you get near, you will time dilate your entire life in a few short minutes and no longer exist.
It has not been confirmed that gravity would have any impact on our longevity or age.
I am not talking about gravity, I am talking about the electrostatic field density or electromagnetic radiation field density if it is less complex to understand. The transverse of the inverse square law having more density .

The observers hanging back in the ship, while you took the shuttle pod into the stars gravity well, those observes would be the ones doing the aging at a high rate of speed. Your clock slows at the bottom of the well relative to those hanging back in the ship. It gets so dang confusing, I can't keep it straight sometimes...

Now imagine you start to move away from the bottom circle, the field become less dense so time slows down, now as you approach the top circle, the field gets dense again so time speeds up trying to reach an equilibrium frequency to the position dynamics required of the body.

I get it. We just don't know if matter frequency means bean dip to the aging process, or our mental perception of time. Frequency changes, and that's all that's been confirmed. We have to re-calibrate clocks in GPS satellites to compensate for SR. A clock is not a person.
