| As I expected, you have all missed the point of the question.


As I expected, you missed the point of the answer.

|
| The fact is, the concept of a 'present' exists only wrt a particular life
(or
| common life)...(and of course, its 'now' would be NOW everywhere since
| simultaneity is absolute).
|
| Without life, there could be no' present' and all times throughout history
| would have equal status.
| There could be no particular 'date'.
|
| So in this respect, all dates exist concurrently. The dinosaurs are still
with
| us.

You sure are...

A few days ago I posted this:
'Really, this is what is meant by the Fourth Dimension, though some people
who talk about the Fourth Dimension do not know they mean it. It is only
another way of looking at Time. There is no difference between Time and any
of the three dimensions of Space except that our consciousness moves along
with it.' --

Herbert George Wells - "The Time Machine" - 1895.

Then along comes FUCKHEAD WILSON and PLAGIARISES

SCIENCE FICTION and says we missed his point.
