I'm saying he did a lot more thinking about it then I did.
I don't really care, what it is, and how it works, as long as it's fun.
F.A, Wolf just happens to come closest to what I find a good whatsyahmecallit.

I mean; Why write something of my own, when I can let this guy do all the talking for me?
and he even makes a lot more sense then I do.

I'll tell you MY theory one day, but it's too long of a sit right now, and you'll probably think I'm bonkers.

Antoine, are you simply agreeing with Wolf's comments? More interesting Fred Alan Wolf concepts from last four segments: Everything made up from probability is not physicalness, it is an aspect of the mind. Observer effects, the way we view things, influences our reality. One can alter reality just by observation. Relationships are structures. Universe appears to be an evolving ordered act of creation, focusing, into future, from chaotic to organized. Desert Religion Syndrome-God is going to smite you. We are just beginning to realize who we are. We are beyond space and time.

Some interesting Fred Alan Wolf concepts from first three segments: "Death is a change of cosmic address." Our purpose of life is to experience this one reality and to discover and become present with our immortal nature. Meditation is the practice of my own death.

I had to put them in order, so my apologies for it taking so long to post.

EXPERIENTIAL TIME
Let us suppose that we gently strike two stones together twice. The two sounds so produced constitute two experiential events which are remembered. Of these sounds we can say:

1. They occurred simultaneously with the striking together of the stones.
2. Each was present for only an instant.
3. One sound preceded the other.
4. Between them there was an interval of time.
5. The interval had duration.
6. During the interval we were aware of the passage or flow of time.

All this is known in immediate experience without reference to any sort of a clock, and we refer to the means whereby this is possible as our time sense, or sense of experiential time. Our awareness of the "flow" or passage of time is confined to the present and our recollection of this permits us to know duration. Duration is a non-spatial magnitude and, within limits, we can compare the duration of time intervals or events. The shortest perceptible duration is the instant, which may be thought of as a point in experiential time. Since duration is a magnitude, points or loci are ordered within it, so that we can know that one instant is earlier or later than another. In other words, the relation sequence is knowable in immediate experience. When two events are experienced at the same instant, we are aware of the relation simultaneity. The term experiential time, then, in its broader meaning, includes all these concepts. In a narrower usage, it is applied to the feeling of duration.
