RE: Do you have the time?

Post by Orm »

Since time moves from the past to the future in sequence events with intervals between them that quantify a change in objects in the space-time continuum the current time is the present interval between those moments. In order to define that moment on a time scale one had to quantify the rate at with those object travel. One object that could be used to quantify the change is one grain of sand. In my present location that grain of sand is affected by gravity and therefore moves at a certain speed unless it is affected by another force than gravity. And if I drop one grain of sand, that is only affected by gravity, after another at an even rate then that could be used as a method to measure the passing of the time. Therefore follows that the current time is a interval between two grain of sand falls.

In short. The current time is after a grain of sand falls.

Orm, that is very impressive(no sarcasm) and interesting.

But I have no sand. Any further suggestions?

Good one, had to think about it for a few seconds,

Then what do you have time for? Reading Stephen Ambrose's "Peanut Brittle-The Definitive Account"??

Fun fact:Peanut Brittle was discovered accidentally when an Egyptian, Paharoh(NO RELATION), was making Maḥshi ḥamām(pigeon stuffed with rice). Go figure.

Actually Ambrose missed that fact. It was written about extensively by Tacitus, in his little know classic "The Most Important Discoveries in History"!!

That creative attempt earns you 1 cup of peanut brittle. Please email warspite1 or Terminus your mailing address and they will send you what you deserve.

Serious point for a second. Does anyone know what Peanut Brittle is? Is it real? Has anyone actually tasted it if it is?

Never heard of it before. I had to look it up on wikipedia. Sounds tasty.

I find it funny that the wiki page points out that Peanut Brittle was "Not created in Bakersfield".
