Bravo! HAHAHA! Brilliant! I can't believe I missed that, thanks CD. Reminds me of another smart physicist's philosophy:
“Imagination is more important than knowledge.” — Albert Einstein
Who's to say it's not true? HAHA One thing is for sure: the attempted contemplation of time stretches the consciousness to its limit. Time perhaps even defines consciousness. Time, gravity, and matter/energy will probably all be defined at once.
