This is more mental exercise than taking the ACT.

By 'taking the ACT', do you mean 'invading the Australian Capital Territory'?!

:hmmm::stare:

Sorry for that.

Why? It's a good observation.

There have been many good observations in this thread.

I think I'm starting to get this.

I couldn't explain it in my words....but I can kinda start to understand. :timeout:

Now you must wrestle with the menu decision...

Morlok or Eloi?

Now let me confuse you.

Time is totally irrelevant.

Every location follows a path through space. Our planet follows its orbit around the sun.
Dublin follows a funny swirl on the surface of the planet along its path around the sun. Ok?
Dublin follows a location-string through space.

How do we meet in Dublin for a pint of beer without the concept of time?

We name a position in space where Dublin's location string will travel through.
If we manage to connect our own location-strings at the right position we will meet.

Assuming one of us doesn't connect Dublin's string at the correct position, but hits the string at an other location.
If this location is somewhere ahead the correct position, he will be in Dublin, but will have to wait until Dublin reaches the correct position. (In time-speak: he is early)
If this location is somewhere behind the correct position, he will be in Dublin, but would find the other one waiting for him. (in time-speak: he is late)
Our strings will be connected along the location-string of Dublins route through space. We may have arranged a certain distance to be travelled together.
If we reach this point and want to part, we simply disconnect our location-strings.

If you have to report to your wife, you can tell her the correct position in space we disconnected, to explain the trouble you have had following your own long and winding location-string back home.


You're still with me, right?

Yesterday 1400 describes a location.

Remember that this only works if you are both in the same universe at the time of your locations strings meeting. Otherwise your pint will get warm.
