Hello Nobody:
Is this - "and lastly there is the absolute which not only reaches B, but reaches it even before it leaves A." ..... anything like the Concorde commercial jet liner, that arrives at it's destination, before it leaves it's point of departure?

With time zones and all, I can understand it with the aircraft, but can't fathom it in a context of any absolute.

Will you, uhm, expand on this 'absolute' that enables arrival before departure? (Please?)

Best regards,
- RP


(George Berkeley, 1710) ... lay the beginning in a distinct explication of what is meant by thing, reality, existence: for in vain shall we dispute concerning the real existence of things, or pretend to any knowledge thereof, so long as we have not fixed the meaning of those words.

"All things come out of the one and the one out of all things." - Heraclitus
"Reality is an illusion - albeit a persistent one." - Einstein
"Particles give me a headache." - Ibid
