Do what we will, we do not seem able to dispute the fact of the irresistible onward movement of time. It is therefore beyond the ordinary capacity of the human mind to accept the concept of a static time, of a dimension of existence wherein there is no passage of hours and years. Such a thing is as inconceivable as it is incomprehensible. Yet such is the surprising elasticity and adaptability of the mind that if only we frequently put the whole problem of time up for consideration and familiarize ourselves with the evidence for this concept, we shall eventually begin to experience strange flashes.
