Ya can't smell it, feel it, or really even measure it, except for rather gross, imprecise measurements and as far as seeing it, we can only see it as it was millions of years ago. And even that is obscured by dust, gas, and an interesting little twist that immerses a distant galaxy deep within its own little time warp, with the vast changes in time from the black hole or singularity at its heart, with its clock running slowly or not at all to a star at its perimeter.

The picture can get as complex as the cross-linking criminal underworld linkages in the republiclown organized crime syndicate.

Makes me wish I were a lot younger and smarter.
