Re: Time doesn't really exist

Doc, if a photon were created by a star say ten million light years away and at the time of it's creation it had a clock on it that we could observe. When the photon was created the clock read exactly 10:30 AM. When the photon arrives at Earth I look at it's clock and it will read exactly 10:30 AM. To me this implies that every possible event that this photon can be involved in happens instantly, relative to the photon. Hence my statement, the photon has no future, only a past.

BTW Doc, your description of time is a good explanation of how we view time.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.
