I only have a minute, so I'm only going to address one thought tonight, and the other two tomorrow.

That is what I was speaking of.
One second is one second...kinda.
Take a tape recorder that has high speed dubbing capability.
Turn on the radio and press record.
Now change the speed to hi speed.
Now change it to higher speed.
Change it to normal.
Repeat the process for five minutes.
Now play it back, and see what it sounds like.
You recorded it in three increments, but the broadcaster only spoke one speed.
This experiment will show you what I mean. By the speeds changing repeatedly, but the tape playing in one speed, you can see that the broadcaster will sound slow, slower, and normal.
Picture this as time going by in variant speeds, and us being the tape recorder.
We perceive time as constant because we exist within it, and no other reason.
Gotta go for now, but there's more that makes sense...promise.
