Baron, I couldn't agree with you more about time.

Because A follows B, we make the assumption B causes A.

And that may not be true.

And to take this discussion into a completely different direction, some proponents suggest time is an illusion.

They claim the past, present and the future already exist in a kind of omni-present. It is just that our perspective is riveted on the present and gives us the experience of discovering the future.

Can't say I really understand it, but it is a interesting concept.
