The best explaination of what space and time actually are is given
in the Critique of Pure Reason. Briefly put, space and time are
the a priori forms of our intuition.
But what is intuition if not a process operating through time?

Thanks Dan I'm sure that will help.
As for Rich and Brad, that is where I would get in my self evaluation of
time. It would end in a stalemate not being able to decide if we are a
function of time or time is a function of us.
IMO fitness does not equal truth. If that statement were true we

Indeed, this gives a very good place to stand when trying to
understand QM. If electrons don't exist apart from the human mind,
then it isn't surprising that their properties don't exist apart
from observation.
But some of their properties *do* exist apart from observation, or at

Is time simply a man made concept or is it the guiding force of the
Universe? If time exists how would one prove that
