Instant passage of time strikes me as a discontinuity. Just like when you're asleep (and not dreaming). But timescales do not need to be continuous sets, so this doesn't pose a problem for TIME. IIUC, the experience of Salvia is rather different, but then I can't speak from experience. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Prof Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Professor of Mathematics hpco...@hpcoders.com.au University of New South Wales http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
