I’ve just spent 1 hour in my 2 hour “Geology 101” class listening to the teacher & two students go back & forth on the question of whether time really exists, or if it is just a construct of Western society. And I’ll never get this time back. Thanks for that.
scoey's conundrum
just a boy trying to figure it out on the fly…
so, does wilford think time exists?
brutal. you could have taken a nap. that would have salvaged it a bit.
dr. brimley is having a hard time arranging coherent sentences, let alone philosophies about space/time…
What is Dr. B’s opinion on the reality of time? Geological eras? The “age” of the universe?
I truly have no idea on his thoughts on the matter – we didn’t even get any useful info (e.g. pertaining to GEOLOGY) today – I took notes from the book & occasionally checked in with the monopolized discussion where 2 wannabe quantum theorists (who’ve watched way too much pseudo-science on NOVA!) bounced meaningless words back & forth with dr. brimley.
I call him dr. brimley because he is a dead ringer for wilfred brimley. His real name is Firby, which is a good name for cool animatronic stuffed animals.
You could ask him how old he believes he is.
This “discussion” sounds a lot like trying to read Descartes. *Gags*
