Time

In summary, the concept of time comes from our awareness of change and is measured by counting cycles of cyclical change. Traveling forward in time is possible due to our understanding of change as a forward progression, but traveling backwards raises questions about the nature of change. The concept of time is also influenced by the development of Thermodynamics and how we view time culturally.

Could it be that time is two things?

Why can't time be both the screen and the moving images?

Without the images the screen of time is blank, and can't be represented to the senses

Without the screen there is nothing on which to show the moving pictures?

Perhaps the two things cannot be separated!

Like the thread, thought I'd muscle in
