Without time there can be no manifestation, without manifestation there is no time.

Manifestation IS time. Time IS manifestation.

Time is the function for all physical manifestations. It exists solely for that purpose, but it is not the cause. The cause is energy seeking it's equilibrium whether conscious or not. Time, matter and evolution are the natural processes for all manifestations to exist, whether an expression and creation of conscious intelligence or pure evolution.

In quantum entanglement the reason the communication is instantaneous regardless of distance is because there is no manifestation. Quantum communication does not require any type of manifestation to exist for its function. There is, in reality no distance.

This is an important concept to remember when putting everything together and understanding the why. 

On a side note there are other forms of communication that fit into this category (MC, AC, UV/R, UDC, etc) . Some such as communication at the atomic and molecular level and are being studied by scientists. others exist on earth and some are universal but are not normally associated with communication or as conduits for communication, and some are so theoretical that you would definitely think me mad, but the important thing to remember is everything works and flows together.
