You better hope Alex K doesn't see that.  For why, start reading at post 24 up through post 28 (and including the article at the link in post 28).  He may also tell you that there may be more dimensions.

Please explain to me what you think time actually is. I suspect you don't even know. Most people have it so wrong it ain't funny.
At least somebody on the planet knows they have it right. I just can't decide if the Nobel Prize should go to mysticknight or kusa.

Just because there may be little twitchy strings doesn't mean they are part of space, does it? Besides aren't my off hand lay impressions worth more than the theories of a fuzzy headed academic?

When you're done with time being temporal, demonstrate space being spacious and the universe being universy

Are you all aware that, according to Einstein, time and space aren't separate entities?

time is space
and space is time
recovers you the clock

The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Fair enough herr Konman, but can you present an argument showing science is scientific?

'Tis not obvious -

And oftentimes, to win us to our harm
The instruments of science tell us truths
Win us with honest trifles,
to betray us in deepest consequence.

There's no art to find
nature's construction in deep space
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition
