As mcclaren states in his commentaries “Deep within the clay housing which envelops us, dwells an Imortal guest, an undying personal self” to which i would add, “which transcends time.”
Our bodies are subject to time, our souls are not. They live outside of time, yet they did have a beginning- however, God zlways knew they would one day exist-
Hard to wrap the mind around the idea of eternity. After a million or a billion or so “years” in eternity, will be be aware that time has gone by? Will,we even be aware of the concept of time in eternitye? What will keep us interested forever and ever? Will anything ever become tiring? If not, why not? Will,everyone be the same “age”?
Time will tell I Guess.
The entire Universe was created just for us to explore and populate.
A billion stars in each of a billion galaxies would take a while to explore...................
You are equating change with time. They are not the same. Time is a construct. Change is the nature of a thing.
We create time out of the revolution of the earth around the sun and a rotation of the earth. It is earth specific. The same period of time does not occur in any other celestial body. Thus, time is a construct of this place in this solar system.
The planet Uranus takes 84 earth years to circumvent the sun. A day is equal to our 17 hours. Time is relative, as such it has no singularity. It is a construct.
AHA!
Time is an absolute if it describes a universal constant. Such a constant is the speed of light. But time ios not derived from the speed of light. Is there another universal constant by which we can delineate time? Is time biological? geological? spatial? To what does time correspond? On what is time based?
I LOVE talking about time. A professor of mine once said, “One cannot think about the problem of time for very long. It will drive you mad!” Madness is my mistress.

EXCELLENT!!
Eternity is not a very long time. Eternity is no time. It is less than an instant, infinitely less.
Change is measured in time. Eternity is not divisible. It has no beginning and no ending.
I love talking about time. Did I say that? When?
Is the last post in a thread the end of time for the thread?
“Time is a construct.”
The language we use to talk about time is a construct, but time itself exists outside of man’s consciousness - just as does space.
Euclidean geometry is a man-made construct we use to describe space, but space exists independently of it.
The Gregorian calendar is a man-made construct we use to describe time, but time exists independently of it.
Time has existed since the beginning of…. …time.
No, this one is.
My only problem is, I cannot remember before I was born. Makes me wonder if I will know anything after death.
Usually 8 or 9 out of 10, but it depends on the woman.
As it is, for us. We just don't know how primitively we are living, compared to those who hail from 14,673 AD.
So, in other words, I’m wasting a lot of nothing. Good to know.
And "jerk" can only be used to describe certain people we may run into.
At least Ethan Krupp could strike a pose.
LOL. So, the derivatives beyond rate of change of acceleration?
After “jerk” comes “snap” then “crackle” then “pop”.
Do you know what time it is?

Check the clock!
Mom, get the kids!
Mom, get the kids!
Mom, get the kids!
(knock, knock, knock, knock) Time to go!
(knock, knock, knock, knock) Time to go!
(knock, knock, knock, knock) Time to go!
Is there anybody out there?
Time speeds up when you’re running late and slows down when you’re waiting in line at the Secretary of State’s office or sitting in a dentist chair.
