The above (all of it) is supposed to be a link—I don’t know how to make it work. Anyway, if you bother to type it in and check out some of the referenced works, you will have as good an idea as anyone can on what time really is. I favor the definition that “time is nature’s way of ensuring that things do not happen all at once.” I don’t remember where I got that one.
for some reason or other man decided that he needed to keep track of time. first it was just day/night, then early day/late day, followed by the moons and then seasons. after that the day is broken up into smaller bits and high noon is “invented”.
anyway,time wasnt made to keep track of life. time is real although you cant touch it. dont know the proper word for it, but time stands for the physical movement of the world, the most obvious being day/night.
No more that I can imagine why the SDMB’s auto-quote feature insists on putting “embedded” QUOTE /QUOTE pairs inside already-quoted material, when it should know that the UBB code handler doesn’t support it. :rolleyes:
