somehow I knew you heard of Whitehead, papau, and to say it's thick reading is an understatement. I took a year to exclusively study Whitehead and there are pages that no human being has been able to grasp. But we all have a notion of it. His grand opus "Process and Reality" has become an entire discipline within philosophy. This guy got it right, bulletproof in both ways - theistic and non-theistic, his cosmology is errorless. He left the god question as more of a catalyst to creating the epocs (epoc(Whiteheadian): The cycle of big bang, big crunch, over and over again)

Whitehead on Time: Actual entities of Reality make the physicality of the universe, an infintesimle unit that is/isn't there. An infinite number comprise the nucleus of an atom but what is unique here is that each entity of reality has the 'feeling of appetition'. Mentality is half its base, a number of them 'feel' themselves as a nucleus, conversly, an infinite number of entities span between the nucleus and the electron orbiting around the nucleus. These entities feel the 'concrescents' of the electron to the nucleus = gravity = mental appetition. Each one of these entities of reality becomes and parishes instantly. The becoming and perishing of actual entities of reality creates time. So as you sat and thought about your chair for an instant, the 'stuff' that makes that chair became and died an infinite number of times creating the time it took you to think about the chair. LMAO


Your head may now explode lol
