I came here after reading The Aleph. Then you start talking about time. Earlier this day, I read a portion of Olga Tokarczuk’s book titles Flights and she gave a definition of time - "- we experience time and space in a manner that is primarily unconscious. These are not categories we could call objective, or external. Our sense of space results from our ability to move. Our sense of time, meanwhile, is due to being biological individuals undergoing distinct and changing states. Time is thus nothing other than the flow of changes. Place as an aspect of space pauses time. It is the momentary detainment of our perception on a configuration of objects. It is, in contradistinction to time, a static notion. Understand thus, human time is divided into stages, as movement through space is broken up by place-pauses. Such pauses anchor within us the flow of time. A person who is sleeping and loses any sense of the place in which he or she currently also loses all sense of time. The more pauses in space, and the more places we experience therefore, the more time elapses subjectively. We often refer to separate stages of time as episodes. They have no consequences, interrupting time without becoming part of it. They are self-contained occurrences, each starting from scratch; each beginning and each end is absolute. Not a single episode is to be continued, you might say." When you ask someone a definition of time, it would be appear as a taxing pseudo-erudite question. After all these, unfortunately, I still cannot define time. Lovely video. Great job!
Nice explanation and an appetizer to get started
