Bible Note: Hello Lionstrong, In the local sense, yes we do measure time by the "motion" of the luminaries. But we can do that only because of their light, by which we see them. An even then,in the case of stars, we are not really seeing them, but rather the light that left them light years ago. In my comment I was thinking of how we measure time in "light years" and how the speed of light is the finite limit of material movement as we know it. At least until someone devlopes warp drive. :-) But your point is correct and certainly more poetic and beautiful than mine. You had a better writer. The Very Best! Emmaus |
