Time is just an artifact of man's mental model of reality. Before man emerged, living organisms got by on changes alone with no reference to time. I hadn't thought of this for a lot of years, but the first definition of it was, "Time is a measure of change; if nothing changed, you couldn't assign time to it." That reminds me of something I caught my Dad on one time. Daylight savings time had just arrived and we set our clocks forward one hour thus losing one hour of sleep. I said, "Pity the poor birds who have to wake up an hour earlier and fly around in the dark." My Dad said, "Yeah, poor birds, - - - hey, wait a minute!" It started early with you, huh? :-) |
