What is the paradox, you ask. A bit quick off the mark, I haven't told you yet. OK. it is the paradoxically smooth transition of our perception from one frame of visual information to the next. Why the paradox? Because if it WERE smooth it would be sliding past us...nothing still as per title... and we would see everything blurred...yet it IS sliding past but quantum dot by quantum dot. Ahem....that's about it. Ever wished you'd never asked?
but we don´t see quantum steps, instead we have a word for blurred because we see something sliding fast as blurred, to see something as blurred is not illogical neither without information.
risking that i understood you completely wrong i ask: Ever wished you´d never answered?
Next. The damn commas. It is messy. I want to say "Strange, then (that when we blink), the change is someone gone..." Maybe I SHOULD say it like that.
don´t, especially not for the sake of a comma. it is sufficiently clear that "then" means "then we blink"
Next. The "but not until through all the past we transformed in to now." Big no-no to that one. I am not a transformationalist...
what is a transformationalist? you need not answer, just know that i did not put that much weight behind that word.
I am trying to state the peculiarity and perversity of time as a moving moment. It is the "moving" that is of significance. If NOTHING moves, time stands still. Ipso facto time is movement. Time is CREATED by the re-arrangement of ALL matter (and I mean ALL) in to another place in space.
We translate (or percieve) this as the passage of time. It is no such thing. It is the relocation of matter.
but when i pass something i move it as well. passing is going by, any way i think about passage involves somekind of movement. is it really contradictory?
That is why we cannot travel in time in either direction. The buildiing blocks of the past have moved in to another place...we call it our present...the future does not exist until the pieces move and relocate...don't get me started
yes, blocks. we cannot rip ourselves out of the universe, but we don´t know if the universe as a whole could move "back and forth". sometimes i wish i could just upload my brain with more theoretical knowledge. as it is i can only wonder.
Next. Your final point is well made and though a philosophical end, is an end indeed.
maybe science and philosophy have the same root and the same end
thanks a lot for answering my comments!
