  As a basis for epistemological study of ``time,'' we analyze three suspect
phenomena introduced by modern physics: non-locality, asymmetric aging and
advanced interaction. It is shown that all three arise in connection with what
has to be taken as arbitrary ideosyncrasies in formulation. It is shown that
minor changes result in internally consistent variations of both Quantum
Mechanics and Special Relativity devoid of these phenomena. The
reinterpretation of some experiments though to confirm the existence of
non-locality and asymmetric aging is briefly considered and a possible test is
proposed.
