Almost ridiculously tangential but.......

[Mike Weaver]

That's interesting - I was going to suggest re Alan Moore that he was 
behind the times as we now have Lee Smolin arguing that Einstein's time 
as a fourth dimension and the lineage up to string theory  might just be 
an error, and that time is the primary phenomenon.
Smolin's book Time Reborn is worth a read.

Not new by any means  - Heraclitus' "all is flux" summed it up rather 
neatly.

cheers
Mike
