By similar logic you could argue all physical units are abstractions, which I guess they are. They are very useful in creating a simple accurate predictive mode

By similar logic you could argue all physical units are abstractions, which I guess they are. They are very useful in creating a simple accurate predictive model of things we observe on many scales. What's the utility of a distinction between existence and abstraction?
- ekianjo 8y agoIf you know the distinction you dont ask yourself why the abstraction exists. Researching the nature of time is a waste of... time, I guess, because you should know time is an abstract concept, a proxy for something else.
