[SOC] Atomic clocks vs. time

[Charles Harpole]

Oh, it pains me to write such an non-SOC thing, but here goes:TIME IS AN INVENTED THING, hours and seconds, etc., are invented by man here on earth, just like math, If man disappeared when he does, minutes and seconds will go "at the same time."  One and one are two only within the system invented by man.
When all matter and energy "finally" collapse down into an infinitely small ball back at the "center" of everything, our idea of time will stop for sure.  But then it goes "big bang" again and, if humans come onto the scene again, seconds can be invented again... or not.
Absolutely everything we humans think we know ARE HUMAN CONCEPTS, and thus when man goes, all his concepts go poof.
