Time and space does not exist for a mountain.
Time and space are first and foremost concepts (ideas, opinions, "facts")
Have you tried asking a mountain whether it ascribes the state "exist" to the concepts of time and space?
It is true that time and space exists for humans thinking about the mountain however.
- sandworm101 10y ago> Time and space does not exist for a mountain. Time exists for the mountain. The mountain moves through time and is effected by time. The mountain is incapable of perceiving time. Neither can bacteria perceive dimensions, but they are still controlled by them.
- sauronlord 10y agoNo it does not A mountain is a part of spacetime. But it does not "exist" for the mountain. Certainly the mountain is affected by the environment and can be modelled with the spacetime concepts. But the mountain does not perceive anything, and therefore cannot compute isExist (spacetime)
- taohansen 10y agoI'm willing to call bullshit on this. Space and time may be constructs but they are "helpful" constructs in that they model specific forces which apply to both us and the mountain. I perceive the waste of this body over time: the mountain is subject to these same wastes and transformations as this body.
