”We can divide numbers in half in an infinite succession. But numbers are abstract--they are not material.” Time is also not material. ” Thus, there are NOT infinite moments of time or infinite segments of distance between me and the corner. Otherwise, I could never reach the corner.” Right. We sort of cheat by describing time as segments or moments or instances that are separated and follow one another in succession. Not to scientific but it allows us to describe our experience in terms of what has happened at a given point in time. Time is a one directional continuum. Everyone agrees time cannot be measured without there being objects and changes, but one of the present issues is whether it exists without objects and changes. ” There is no evidence that moments are eternal. " Quite to the contrary, all evidence suggests that none of us have ever left the present moment in time. There is no evidence to refute this fact.
