| Re: simple theory aka Occam’s Razor Time varies with the variation of that which is used to measure time. If the rotation of the Earth is used to measure time (one day), then a variation in the rotation of the Earth sees a variation in the length of a day. If an atomic clock is used to the measure time, then a variation in the rate of atomic decay sees a variation in the measure of time. With the materialist paradigm, these two means for measuring time are variable. The point is that time is not a “thing-in-itself”. Time is a measure of the duration of some real material thing. To see time as a “thing-in-itself” is to commit the fallacy of reification or misplaced concreteness. Stephen |
