Ever notice that helicopter blades look like wheels within wheels.

Everyone has a view about time which fails the smell test.

You only think you know time.

I chide Steve specifically because I know he has the maturity to think in stride or chew gum and walk. ;) He too thinks he knows how time works. I bet he knows Newtonian gravity by formula. He only knows what it is to him.
Now suppose I speak to all of you at once;
I put it to you that your idea of time and other phenomena is an illusion. You think you are right for the right reasons but that too is flawed. All the arguments you rely upon will ultimately fool you.
You are not a fool but a Maxwell or Einstein you are not.

Based on what you know, you are in good company but we all do not know enough to claim certainty beyond any exceptions. It is the exception to the rule that moves discovery and knowledge forward.

I believe you all. You haven't a ken to everything I am suggesting,
you only can think what I mean from your own experience. None of us will experience everything. Certainty is your enemy, uncertainty is your friend.
