Okay, but what is that 'sane idea', exactly?Belinda wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 10:06 amYes that is what I think. I believe that each event it relative to other events and that change and relativity are two words for the same idea.Age wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 12:13 amIf you agree that 'now' is an illusion, then you would also, logically, agree that 'past' and 'future' is also an illusion, right?
If no, then why not?But, to 'who', exactly?
Again, to 'who', exactly?
Obviously to 'those' alive 10 billion light years away from 'you',and who are observing 'you', 'the future', which you claim is open and still to exist, has not just already happened, but is also long gone.
But, while you continue to have a very narrowed and closed field of view, and belief, here, you will not begin to understand this irrefutable fact, right?
So, to you, 'time' is not an actual physical thing but is just the word used to describe the act of measuring 'duration', itself, correct?
Do you have proof of 'this', and therefore it is an irrefutable fact?Belinda wrote: ↑Wed Jul 30, 2025 10:06 am I can see where you are coming from; when people talk of "now" or "the present" what we usually mean depends on context; it may mean "today" or "the past three weeks" or "of immediate importance" and so forth depending on the context.
Now exists subjectively but does not exist objectively;
Or, is 'this' just what you believe is true?
Because the proof that 'now' exists, objectively, means that 'now' actually does exist objectively.
What do you mean by, 'There is no subsection of the act of measuring 'duration', itself, and change where the act of measuring 'duration', itself, and change stands still, exactly?
