so why do you not believe in Time? I have irrefutable evidence... Just today I
was reading it, and I think it has been around for 75 years. There was just an
anniversary issue out in march. :)
But seriously, what lead you to this conclusion. This reminds me of something I
have thougth about; What if our memory is simply a 6th sense similiar in many
ways to visual, auditory perception, etc. If our head were fixed in one direction
and we always traveled in a straight line (assume backwards), our sense of vision
would only show us where we had been. Our memory could simply be the sense that
percieves events in time. Similiar to visual, olfactory, and auditory senses,
events/objects greater in "distance" are less clear. I know there are lots of
bugs to work out, but it presents an interesting comparison.
