So time is relative, due to the speed of light being a constant. Essentially it's a construct of humanity. It exists linearally but also, being a construct, it also exists perceptively. Here's the population of the world, right now, at this moment, it is 6,308,980,416. So if you take one second and add it up it is: 6,308,980,416 seconds or 105,149,673 minutes, 36 seconds or 1,752,494 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds or 73,020 days, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds or 10,431 weeks, 3 days, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds or 2,434 months, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds or 202 years, 10 months, 14 hours, 33 minutes, 36 seconds ...all occuring in the space of one second, at the same time! Isn't that amazing! I am such a nerd. |
how about the population of ardvarks? and maybe you read the headline of the declining tasmanian devil population....figure that out, in terms of time. why limit your number play to the human population. |

if your perception is limited to two dimensions, you can perceive three dimensions as a succession of two dimensional objects. your lathed table leg becomes a succession of squares and circles. linear time _is_ a human construct. it is the basis of our consciousness. we depend on the table leg being a succession of shapes, otherwise our lives would be meaningless. or, rather, our lives would appear to us to be as meaningless as they really are. and then where would we be? enlightened? fucking stoners. |
did anyone read the piece in time magazine about meditation? |
control needs time what are you here for? what do you want from me? |
