If you mean your phrase "time and space never actually vanish in
nature", well, then, I suppose, to your question "how?" you answer "by
no means". Okay. :)

How do you define physical time?

I guess "to come" means "to change spacial position" and any change is
inseparable from "time". Therefore no thing can change (and travel)
independently of the course of time and not along with the latter,
otherwise that thing must have another (its own and proprietary) time
in which it would change while traveling through our usual "time" in
any direction it pleases.

Or rather that is how mathematics is interpreted.

As far as I remember, circles within circles were also very useful in
predicting apparent paths of celestial bodies in the sky...

In the conventional language this is usually called "plan" and has
nothing to do with time as a dimension or "now" as an interval.
