Sponsor | | Vortexfugue | Jan 23, 2007 6:56pm | | Hmm, interesting, I'll have to think on it more. Can motion exist if there is no time? Even if it doesn't exist as a "thing", it certainly exists as a measure. But I'm still thinking time and space are but different manifestations of a same "thing", much like matter and energy are. |

| | Swapler | Jan 24, 2007 4:40pm | Time is additive incompleteness due to the incompleteness of the perciever.
Time is the perciever.... wellll ok, it is in a sense. I would say that even though I (unlike some others) don't consider clock time any more universally absolute than daydreaming time, I'm not so sure I would take that leap, but in a way... |
