>>This is where relativity kicked nuetonian physics in the fanny. Neuton said the dissappearance of the sun would be noticed by earth immediately. Relativity said the loss of the sun would take at least 8 minutes (the speed of light) to inform earth. I don't know if the sugesstion was the speed of light - or accepted something less - it just was not instaneous.

>Applying the 'half way there' theory. That is, no matter how much you wish to move to a point, you can never get there because there is always some distance between you and the object. If you keep dividing the distance between two points by two, you will never arrive. Logic dictates that the theory must apply in the opposite as well. Because there is always distance, then there is alway time. If there is time then nothing can be 'instantenious'? Good Lord! we might not be where we are at every moment of our lives. If we are not where we are then we are not there. Therefore, we are not dreaming . . . we are dreams. Now what?

I fact, perhaps, we a just figments of God's imagination.

Or,

as an associate tells me; "I am the only real being in this universe, and rest of you are figments of my imagination."

What a lonely thought.
