Since having more time to spend (wisely...hopefully), I have come to fear mind rot...especially if it's before my mid-40's when most statistically reach the height of their intellect. Hence, I've been trying to tackle one topic per day that stupefies me. Today: time and space.
Just typing these words builds my self esteem: relativity, Einstein, absolutism, luminiferous ether, endurantism, perdurantism...my computer fan is having trouble keeping up. Who knew that time doesn't necessarily have a direction or that it flows or that "do you believe in time travel" shouldn't be answered in one word? Then there are the catchy quotations...but for the one that resonates: "Nothing troubles me more than time and space; and yet nothing troubles me less." ~ Charles Lamb.
Perhaps I should recalibrate tomorrow's topic: emulsion...or return to the "word of the day"...or quotes...or logic problems...or trying to clear my head while sipping tea...

Maybe India will help clear up all your time and space questions! Like more time = more people = less space. Simple algebra I think. Einstein would have thought of that if he'd kept at it.
