Speed of Light not Constant?

Hello aristarchusinexile,

I don't think time can be extricated from the other three dimensions. I firmly believe it to be inexorably woven into the fabric that makes up our universe and everything in it- including living creatures. BTW:

I'm schizophrenic
And so am I

For anything to be woven needs to be some form of matter.

Time is a measure of motion etc, it has no "What ever" to be able to be woven.

You cannot change time.

Hello Harry,

"Woven" was an unfortunate word choice for describing time's relationship to our three dimentional world, but I was trying (in an admittedly rather ineloquent way) to imply the spacetime idea. What can I say, sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you IOW change space, change time, bend space, bend time etc.

I don't really see time as any different than space, when it comes right down to it. Just as distance is an observer's measure of separation of position, time is an observer's measure of separation of occurrence. It's a direction, more or less.
