You also don't think you need to be smart to be a brain surgeon.

I posted professional testimonial evidence that one doesn't need to be exceptionally intelligent to be a good brain surgeon. I'm not sorry that displeased you.

The large number of different physical scenarios renders string theory vacuous as a framework for constructing models of particle physics.

A measure of the passage of present moments often measured in relation to the sun's changing position relative to the earth.



That's more specific than the other attempt in this thread.


The point is, it's not easy to comprehend.

And Rex didn't attempt it, which was the point of me asking it.

You think time is an easy dimension to grasp?

Yes, I do.

Do this as an exercise...

Define time without using words relating to time. Write a definition that isn't circular.


An interesting and maybe even fun exercise but pretty pointless...

For instance, I can physically sense (so can easily grasp) that this sofa cushion I'm sitting on is too hard for my comfort, but no definition of "hard" can substitute for that sense.

I agree. The concept of time without a method of measuring the passage of time is pretty hard to get your head around. Maybe because it isn't real. There is only now.

I almost stopped reading at this point because I was thinking "it's more than just advanced math that is beyond your education and comprehension," but after forcing myself to finish reading your post, I must admit that your reasoning is definitely plausible.

Neither time nor space exists, as proven by Zenos paradox. It's all an illusion.
