Space and time are the things you use to avoid getting hit by a semi truck. /BAH

I have seen this subject of time and space, or sometimes just time, or other times just space come and just sort of fade away countless times on this newsgroup in the last 20 or so years. A lot of very brilliant people, much smarter than any contributing to this newsgroup have tried to understand time and space for a very long time without success. So it should be obvious that no one, no philosopher, scientist, lay thinker, or whoever understands time or space. So it can safely be said that mainline science does not understand time or space.

Hey fuckwit, why are ewe calling AGW a conspiracy when its just a hoax, no different in principle or in origin to the god hoax, both fictions began inside a person's head. MG |
