The waveform with a given initial condition (its form at t = 0), remains a solution of the time-independent Schrödinger equation for all later times.

The Schrödinger Equation, cornerstone of quantum mechanics. (technically, this is a one-dimensional, time-independent, version of the equation).

And from that humble beginning — maybe ordinary quantum mechanics is right, and there exists a formulation of the theory of everything that takes the form of a time-independent Hamiltonian acting on a time-dependent quantum state defined in some Hilbert space — you can actually reach some sweeping conclusions.

So in this sense, the ‘law’ being spiritual, is timeless and cross-cultural and time-independent.

Areas covered occasionally by sea ice are masked using a time-independent mask.

Classically: dx/dt = p. If we choose to regard p as more fundamental than t then we “generate” time dt = dx/p. Or use a wavefunction ø: dø/dt = Hø (H a time-independent Hamiltonian).

Though some posts may be irrelevant to the present, this will give a new life to the posts which are time-independent.
