For me time just exists. What time nuts do is to try and measure and characterise it. ---------------- Unfortunately, that's not really the way it is. Time nuts do not and cannot measure time itself because time as an absolute entity just doesn't exist. We can measure the length of the intervals between events, time intervals if you choose to call them that, but nobody has ever demonstrated the existence of time itself as a measurable quantity. And just in case anyone wishes to shout me down on this, as happened when I dared to suggest the same some time ago, I have since been heartened to read in Walter Isaacson's excellent biography that a certain Mr Einstein arrived at the same conclusion. We could of course both be wrong, but at least I'll be wrong in good company:-) regards Nigel GM8PZR _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
