woah! you've just confirmed this theory even more O__O

But yes. The time thing is correct. All of destiny is a paradox. Such as you kill atheon and the timer stays at zero Not a bug HES TIME AND YOU KILLED HIM time froze And also the story says Crota died. So why in December will we fight him? Because time is broken into a paradox. Strangers rifle. It says to has parts that "shouldn't even exist yet" because the exo stranger can time travel through the paradox. The traveler is "dead"/dormant because TIME IS LOST IN A PARADOX destiny focuses greatly on time paradox is anybody was to look closely I study time and all of it's qualities(kinda dr who type stuff if you know the show. My girlfriend and I have devised many theories of real life time travel and had one submitted and "confirmed" by a scientist. He published it stating that he believes if we had what the theory required. Time travel may as well exist. So obviously someone like me would look DEEPLY into destiny's time basis

Story says Crota is sleeping, not dead. Play Crota's Sword mission and listen to the Cryptarch. My guess is after he won the moon he had a huge Hive Party and is currently sleeping off his hangover.

wow that sounds awesome... do you have any recommend sites for time stuff like you mentioned?

I honestly didn't come up with it. I saw it on here somewhere. Sorry to the original idea owner I can't recall a name but yeah lol
