Thanks. I gave up about 20% in, thinking that whatever it is, it's either BS or over my head. Which is where much cosmology and theoretical physics leaves me. And yes, that probably says more about me than them ;) But whatever, I rather think that subjective time involves movement at the speed of light through some n-dimensional manifold. But maybe that just reflects the SF that I've read. Such as Stephenson and Egan.

Hah, I came here to say much the same thing about the flow of time, much for the same reason (Stephenson, Egan, Asimov).

  Ah yes, Asimov. It's been decades since I read his work. What would you recommend?

      Thanks. Somehow I never heard of that. It seems interesting, albeit 60 years outdated. But then there's the 1984 update.

        The Dead Past is also a fantastic (short) story by Asimov. /2c
