Antennas led astray

That is the point that you are missing. But, I know you are just playing word games here. Nope, you completely missed the point. Our seconds are just as arbitrary as our dollars. Our dollars didn't exist one year after the first super nova and neither did our seconds. How many times have I said standards are arbitrary, Cecil? That the standards are arbitrary is irrelevant. That the human defined unit of time called the second didn't exist before humans defined it is irrelevant. Time existed before humans and will continue to exist after humans are long gone. There is no such thing as a quanta of time. The human defined unit of time called the second is simply a way to measure time. The universe existed for a very long time before humans came along and defined a unit of time called the second and put a number related to those units on it's age. -- Jim Pennino Remove .spam.sux to reply. |
