Thank you so much for your reply!

And since we don't "notice it," it is not "real" for us; that is, from our "perspective."

So true. So very true. It reminds me of the first time I SCUBA'ed in open water, the visibility was less than 10 feet. Without thinking - i.e. that bubbles from the regulator rise - a newbie could drown. Jeepers!

PatrickHenry and I had quite a sidebar going on flying "by the seat of the pants." With super speeds, night flying and poor visibility - the pilot has to ignore his 'senses' and pay attention to the avionics.

I believe geometric physics puts the scientist in the same quandary. To understand it, he must ignore his physical senses.

Yes, but it's an old story. The solar system theory is certainly counter-intuitive. The earth seems quite stationary. Lesson learned: our senses have developed to be good enough for survival, but there's no need for them to have developed to the point where we can detect everything.

What puzzles me, however, is why we seem to have far more intelligence than we really require. Well, sometimes it puzzles me.

Thank you so much for the excellent analogies, A-G, PH! I think they really help us understand what the real situation is WRT the problem of another time dimension: It's essentially a cognitive problem.
