Stuck In the Middle With You

Continuing with this outward to inward extrapolation, the past would have to
exist only in the minds of living beings. That's where you'll find it. .
.in memories.


Hi:

Mebbe. I generally only get those thoughts when dawn comes and I pull out the
Rebel Yell and the--whatever! :-)

memories are illsuions and reality is an assumption made by apes. like us

Sometimes, when looking though my telescope at distant galaxies, I get
confused. Thoughts of the relationship between time and life overwhelm me
and it seems that neither time nor life could exist without the other. I
guess that makes them both relative.

Good point Martin....maybe we should call it the spacetime-life continuum.
;-)

Perhaps we should! But you know, Tom. . .if you don't think about it TOO
hard, it becomes evident that the universe, time, and life all support each
other's existence. Remove either from the "system" and the whole thing goes
down.


WHAT'S LEFT THEN???????

Remove all 3, and you have......the PERFECT VOID once again. :-)

Very, very good.
Now for the toughie. . .

Who was the lead singer for the group and what was the name of the big hit
from his subsequent solo career?

You have 60 seconds. . .


Sound effects:

Background of obnoxious elevator music in background.


Visual:

Cathy places her fingers to her temples while her eyes slowly drift to the
left and to the right.

Is time truly linear? If so, it would seem that on a time line extending
any direction from your body only the future awaits assuming your movement
in the direction of a perceived object or situation. The present would
then
exist only at the position which your body occupies along this time line.

How about this: really, we are looking at the past all the time. We witness
what just happened after the fact. Our brains take incomming information and
we are presented with our interpretation of what just happened, screened
through all of our senses.
Just a thought.....

Announcer:

Excellent. . .now name one more of his hits for a BRAND NEW
CAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One point of view holds that past, present, and future coexist, and
time is merely an artifact of consciousness. Or, as a wise guy once
said, "time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening all
at once".
