How about the rules are god? Gravity, the strong and weak nuclear forces, and electromagnetism and their relative strengths basically what happens across the physical and chemical universe. "Feeeeel the force".
On another topic. Anyone else cynical enough to see how the Trump/Kim interaction has been staged by Russia and China to make Trump look good and keep him in the running for the next election?

That's not a valid question for the same reason that "what was before the big bang?" is not valid.
You're talking about something before the concept of time existed, when there is no before or after, it just IS. It's totally outside of human experience.
I certainly can't wrap my head around it, maybe someone else out there can

The whole question of what is time is an interesting one. Recently there has been an Italian physicist/philosopher (Carlo Rovelli) on Radio National giving some talks about the nature of time. He reckons time and time line is a human construct - there's only what's going on right now to an individual and there's no such thing as past or future time. If you want to do your head in, try listening to him, he also has plenty of youtube vids - it takes him a long time (ha ha) to say relatively little.

We would have to develop a different method of measuring it
Time is a human construct in the sense that we are the only species to measure it and to use it to describe the world; it would still exist if there was no-one or no reason to measure it, it just wouldn't matter.
It's also unique because it's the one part of nature that we can't interact with.
I guess you could say it doesn't "exist" because there's nothing physical to observe, but I would contend that it's still a very real part of existence.

Surely, time is simply a measure of change.

A change of what?
If you stand on the earth in most places you will see day and night, so one could say that sunlight is changing and call it a day but if you stand on the north and south pole you see something different and if you're somewhere in space outside the earths shadow you'll never see it change.
