If it is day "now" and the earth turns through 360 deg. on it's axis then it is still "now" the only difference is that things have moved. There was no "yesterday" or more exactly, there was no "then". The only concept of time is an invented one by us (humans) to measure the changes in the physical position of objects (or energy), therefore there is no such thing as "time", or is there? Sorry but this is bothering me! Given that somebody had been put in a place where there was no reference to time, no day or night, no clocks, no words that related to "then" or "now", etc. If he moved from one place to another, surely he would say "I move from there to here" and not "I was there and I am now here". This is a hard concept to put into a few short words but I know what I am trying to get at. I need to discuss it. Can anybody help?
