  • Isn’t another location

    “previous” and “subsequent” locations in space are memory phenomena, High-energy location changes are closer together in memory. Our “time” is a bookshelf of physical events in space, one following another. Of course they’re sequential, so it was convenient to ‘measure’ the ‘distance’ between the books for purposes of prediction. But we’ve invented that ruler, then forgot we made it up. Many indigenous people have no ‘time’, and they manage.


  • If a one-ton boulder rolls down an Earthly hill in my direction and I don’t move, what happens is not a manmade concept. Call it what you will.

    Time on the other hand exists only as a useful mental tool to describe change. When I repeat the experiment of going to sleep, when I wake up it’s still always now. That experiment -always- produces the same result.
