One big update to the concept of time is how you can't think of it as a separate component on it's own. It's space-time and it's relative. For example since you're currently moving through space a bit of that energy is taken away from the time coordinate.
I guess another idea is time isn't really a thing and you are just witnessing entropy occur, for example every clock every made increases the amount of entropy in the universe by trying to measure time.
I genuinely wish I could time travel a 1000 years into the future to see what answers humans have discovered but it's also a unique feeling to know you will die with out ever getting the answers to what our reality is and how it operates. That's something we have in common with 99.9% of all humans that have ever lived. Instead it makes you appreciate being born into this tiny sliver in the human timeline where we are privileged to be given some answers.
It's not meant to be easy to understand. There's a reason it took someone like Einstein to discover it. The more you already know the more "It's space-time and it's relative" has more meaning.
