To you all --- Where do you think I picked up the quoted definitions of "metaphysics" and what do you think most folks relate that term to? And that was one of your kinder comments. Some of the comments, right from the beginning were really not nearly so civilized. Doubt that? Look back...

To Moonbear --- You (and others) don't see the term "metaphysical" as any sort of insult? Let's look at what that word usually referrs to. It is used to describe the immaterial, incorporeal, the supernatural, the unearthly, etc., etc. Of course I'm insulted. And that sort of name...

Tom Mattson --- Your "metaphysical" comment was a major insult to a professional in the field of astrophysics and to a considerable number of others who are deeply involved in various fields of science. It reminds me of some of the comments made about Einstein when he first came on the...

Warren --- Your demeanor speaks for itself. I cannot possibly improve on it. I do hope, however, that others who read our words, will continue their inquiry into the obscure and the unknown. With a few, however, I imagine I will just have to consider the words of George Benard Shaw...

Moonbear --- When I ask you what, in all of the universe, are you aware of that is not ultimately defined as these changes in distances between everything and everything else, you answer with the question, "But does this necessarily define time..." You might like to consider my original...

Some answers about "Time." Moonbear --- I don't have a great deal of time. My field is astrophysics and I'm kept very busy. It's an exciting and very energetic exploration and it leaves precious little time for anything else. Let me cover at least a few of your comments, however...

An answer to your surprising statement and action. Warren --- I am amazed. I have presented my papers on the subject of "time" in important areas of scientific inquiry. I have many friends who are quite prominent in the field of astrophysics. There is considerable agreement concerning...

To the Directors of this site and the membership in general, I guess I shall have to accept the fact that sometimes people who are in a position to change things (and move discussions) are not always doing what is appropriate. The discussion that was opened under the title of, "Another Way...

The best way that I can put it, without reverting to differential equations and such, is to ask the following questions. What do you perceive, in this universe of ours, that is something, anything other than motion? And what is motion? And, how might you think this would relate to "time?"...

Another view of the concept of "time." Dear Friends, I am new to these most interesting forums. I am very pleased to have discovered them. Perhaps I can add a subject that might also be of interest? Some philosophers, theologians and even some scientists seem to feel that "time"...

Dear Friends, I am new to these most interesting forums. I am very pleased to have discovered them. Perhaps I can add a subject that might also be of interest? Some philosophers, theologians and even some scientists seem to feel that "time" is but a figment of human imagination or...
