There needs to be some imagination for sucess in both science and electronics.That is philosophy, which has it's place, but not concerning electronics or science.
My question on time: (My apologies for the interjection of Philosophy)
What unit of measurement do we use to calculate time?
Where did that come from?
What was the initial need for this measurement?
'Time' the way you see it may indeed exist, but the way we measure it is entirely man made. 60 seconds per minute could have been 58 seconds,
that would have a great impact on calculations.
