Hiya chezlaw,

[ QUOTE ]
The nature of time is a toughie

[/ QUOTE ]

Not really. Time is a measure of change. The unit of time is a quantum change in the universe. No changes, no time, everything frozen, including time measurements instruments. No one, nothing, possibly aware of the passage of time. Time is truly meaningless ouside changes. Most people think time has to do with endurance. It is the reverse.

Got it? (it is a derived measure).

I was trying to make clear that what I was saying about credulous beliefs has nothing to do with an apriori concept of time - which is, I think, a tough issue.

A possible problem with what you say (maybe another topic)is that without some concept of time you wouldn't be able to perceive the change that you are using to define time.
