Well I have NEVER said nor done this here, unless you will point out and show specifically where I have said or done this here, so, until then, your comment has nothing to do to me.
But if you and others say things like that, then okay.
I quoted this earlier: "So now there does not appear to be any disagreement that 'time' is nothing other than a word, and as such just an abstract concept, and that the word 'time' is just describing, or quantifying, the actual measurements taken with respect to the change and movement of the position of the sun relative to the earth, so then let us continue on looking at these experiments and observations that have led people to see things as they are now, when this is written."
So time is nothing other than a word, an abstract concept, and then you said that time refers to the actual measurements.
Obviously I did not make myself clear enough, to you.
I did actually use the words:
'the word time refers to the actual measurements ...', which you purposely, or unintentionally, neglected to add here.
By you just not adding those two words;
the and
word, then what I actually said and meant can be so easily twisted, distorted, and/or just misinterpreted so quickly and so very easily.
Imagine if you copied my words exactly how I wrote them down here?
Would your simple logic; If we say that x is nothing other than F, then we're contradicting ourselves if right afterwards we say that x is (also) G, where G isn't identical to F, still be the same.
See, I did not say x is nothing other F and x is (also) G as you are trying to propose I did here.
Let us look at what I actually did say and
meant: I said x is nothing other than F and that the word x
refers to G.
See the words
describing and
quantifying do not refer to the 'is' word. These two words refer to the 'refer' word. So, my use of the two words '
the word' were in relation to the word 'time' and what that word 'time' refers to and not what that word 'time'
is. To me, the word 'time' is just a word, in concept, or thought, only. The word 'time' also
refers to some thing else. The word 'time' is not
is some thing else.
So, your simple logic, as I said, has nothing to do with what I actually said, and meant.
Do you now better understand?
