Time: It's all relative my friend.

Man, you are all over the place, I don't even know where to begin. I start typing then think 'Nope, that won't do'. You have provoked many thoughts on time, specifically it's tangibility.

I enjoy thoughts and discussion on time, although it has been a while. I think there is two ways we have to look at Time, our perception of it and it's existence apart from us. Then again, we also have to look at it either scientifically or philosophically. One of the biggest problems I have with Kant, is his Transcendental Aesthetic. However, I do not have a problem with Eisteins conception of time. The former is philosophical (and insane) the latter is mathematical (and also insane).

If you are interested in reading about time, I suggest the book "About Time" by Paul Davies.

Quote:
Light is a beam. Sound is a wave.
Who is to say that time is any different than sound is? Or a meandering river, for a more illustrious example.
Light is also a wave, sometimes, and it is also particles... or, a particle-wave. Sound is collections of particles that move through a medium at different compression rates, we translate it as a wave.
