Don't try and analyze this speculative garbage. Time is an illusion. It doesn't exist Freepers. The only reality is the present moment.

Since a 'moment' is a measure of time, the how do you know that the 'present' (also a measure of time) exists?

I don't mean to hassle a fellow Freeper but your comment is hard to resist.
In what increment would you like to measure this present moment?
A full minute?
A second?
A tenth of a second?
A millionth of a second?
When you think about it that way you realize our common sense perception of time dosen't make much sense at all.
This article was talking about equations which use the "dimension" of time to analyze the universe (which has the irritating characteristic of having more than three dimensions). :-)
The bottom line--we understand very little about time. It is a major intellectual challenge--and worth pursuing imho.
