To study the 'time' that you're trying to observe, you'd have to do so outside of our own observation of time.. Which doesn't make much sense, but, the object will only mathematically be in separate phases. To observe a single object in all of its stages of being, time, space, travel, motion, force, size, shape and so on, would mean that we'd have to basically see it from start to finish; once you've done that, the study's pointless is it not? It's not so much of a bad idea so to say, it's just somewhat difficult to study other than mathematically, which generally gets denounced rather easily.
Time's not of the observer's manipulation, but, of the observer's sense of motion/time. It's a very complicated thing to comprehend, and I don't quite get it all that well. I do enjoy thinking about it though, if it weren't so late I'd give more input, maybe tomorrow sometime.
