That hasn’t stopped philosophers and creatives from wading into those waters and in fact the nature of Time is a central theme explored in the Metatron’s Army series.

The resulting observatory is an engineering marvel, capable of detecting changes in distance between its mirrors that are 10,000 times smaller than the width of a proton. These fluctuations indicate that ripples in space-time are passing through.
