"the election of absolute external time (defined by Newton) and the notion of an absolute rest state against which all motion could be measured, were alike arbitrary, capricious, and essentially superstitions that had been adopted as a form of comfort.
The alternative--that spacetime's constant is only the velocity of light and that motion"

Thanks for the provoking thoughts Amos. Last night in a dream I was speaking with my Grandmother.

I said to her: "Isn't it strange, how I can be here speaking with you, and yet you are dead?"
She replied smiling: "Yes, I am dead love. But I'm also wise."
Sitting back in her chair, she told me: "I control time, through dance."
I knew this was of significance. Describing how she in her non-living state mastered her experience of reality.
At this point I began to experience sorrow at her loss, and started to cry. She said: "Come along now, lets have a cup of tea."

Speaking last night about dance as a universal mystical metaphor for both creation itself and our interaction with creation and also how movement and time are key both to literal dance and to the fundamental building blocks underpinning the physical universe.

I'd be curious if you (or anyone else) had anything further to add?
