We would all be better off without clocks. There are too many people racing thru their lives because they don't seem to have enough time.

Are you sure we aren't falling through time without benefit of friction to slow us down?

What is Time? It's a "news" magazine for people with little curiosity and short attention spans. As for the pseudo-scientific discussion in the article, I've seen deeper philosophical discourse in dorm lobbies of public universities, where the ultimate question was one of changing bong water.

Hey...I had that exact same book when I was younger. I'm sure if I dug around some, I'd find it. My favorite was the Rock Candy experiment...yep, I tried that one very frequently!

Time is what keeps "one damn thing after another" from becoming "every damn thing all at once."

I've always seen time as the movement of energy from a higher to a lower state, in other words, the decay of energy into entropy, the descent of Order into Chaos. Think Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Whatever time is, I certainly don,t have enough of it. And why, pray tell, does the passing of it affect the joints?It has been observed that the passing of joints affects time, as well.
