November 18, 2011
- As a component of space-time, it is simply another measure of the distance between events. It has ceased to be an irreversible stream that carries everything within it.
- Time is God (Kronos, cf Scientist [2]): it is that which keeps the world in existence and that which keeps us from describing the world completely. (See also Cow.)
- Ex Hoc Momento Pendet Aeternitas.*
* Motto on the southern gable of the Old Buildings in Lincoln’s Inn, London (?transl: ‘From this moment hangs eternity’).
