Thanks. That is a very good description of the conventional and practical use of our time concept. ” To make an analogy: If walking to the corner does not require any time, then I cannot walk to the corner--because in order to walk to the corner I must move through a series of events. One cannot be two places at the same time. Yes, and in order to walk from the corner you must first go half way to the corner and that series of movement events takes half the time (if your movement is constant). Before you can move half the distance you must move half of that distance. You can keep moving in half movements and dividing your time by an infinite number. Although we perceive the movement as a fluid thing, you of course understand that at some point in our divisions the fluidity is harder to distinguish. We are limited as well by our measuring devices but you can rationally see the argument that is being made. We make an infinite number of movement events through an infinite number of moments in time to reach the corner. So, are we approaching conscious respect for the eternity of the moment?
