Stathis, I understand your point but you don't understand my point.
My point is that you try to prove time doesn't flow by giving me an example is which time DOES flow (the running projector). The projector has to run in time to give the motion of the frames. That kind of proof obviously doesn't work. Please give me a proof that time DOES NOT flow without using something running in time. I say this is impossible. There is no way you can prove time does not flow without using some FLOW of time, something running in time, to try to prove it. Therefore the notion that time doesn't flow cannot be proved. Do you see my point now? Edgar On Tuesday, February 25, 2014 1:39:30 AM UTC-5, stathisp wrote: > > On 25 February 2014 00:26, Edgar L.
