Quote:the essence of "time" is it's "progression"
Parm my beg to differmints but that "progression" is purely linguistic and is derived from our conception of time. It has nothing to do with time's nature

I agree with Faldage The difficulty in any explanation is our individual perception of time. And it's so varied! Myself, I think of time like the air, invisible but all around us. We "see" it in it's effect as we "see" the wind when tree branches move or when things blow about.
And sometimes we get a glimpse of the future --- usually when we are not trying --- maybe that's ESP.
There! now the cat's among the pigeons!
