Time

Too big a subject for my small brain, but I always find talk of time as a dimension alongside measurements of physical space to be nonsensical

I do like the current thinking about 'mindfulness', and that this moment is all there is; I watched the movie 'Bohemian Rhapsody' last night and was taken by a Queen song lyric describing the future as being only "our present"... so true when you think about it... and it chimes with Sky's notion of time being simply existential 'snapshots' which can be viewed from any angle and fit into a narrative which extends in any and all directions (Sky's hexagon theory)

There was a fascinating Radio 4 documentary recently about the possibility or otherwise of time travel, but maybe that's for another thread

Oh and I just had a beer, so somebody please tell me whether any of this was helpful
