- Go to Time revisited?
Sounds extremely interesting. I'm not sure if it's unfortunate or not, but the bulk of our society is structured around the 'time elements' we already have in place ( clocks, calendars, etc. ). For people to suddenly find out that none of it is 'real?' Oh the possible fallout . . .

This should be interesting. It will soon be the tenth anniversary of when I retired from working for a paycheck. At that time, I threw my watch away and haven't worn one since. Nor have I had a working clock in my car since then. It has been interesting. I do seem to have a good internal "clock" and seldom am late to anything that matters to other people.

I am interested because I cannot grasp the thought of time being an illusion. I just have to look into the mirror to know the something has gone by...LOL...I am glad that you are picking up this concept again because ever since your first series I have been thinking about it and I get nowhere. I asked the Gnomes and they gave me a smile and a wink which makes me think that perhaps they understand what I just can't fathom. Write on Mc Duff please do.

Our perception of minutes, seconds, hours, is grounded in fallacy.
How pleasant to think there is no six a.m. on a Monday, because what we call Monday is an illusion, a delusion that so many have agreed to pretend or is it that they pretend to agree? On the other hand, Friday happy hours are necessary boundaries at the end of an unbelievable work week. Or not.
