I have listened to many modern physics lectures on the subject of time, and I am always left unsatisfied. It seems in their haste to divest their thoughts of the philosophical considerations in favor of the purely mathematical, they have foreshortened their ability for a wider consideration of the full dimension. Truly an intriguing subject, Daniel, and I love the narrative format you employ in such an engaging manner. Your tale-weaving skill is so adept, I had to force myself not to jump ahead. Beautifully crafted, Daniel.
