On the Nature of Time

How can you imagine any world without experience (observation?) thus any observer is dependent on position thus time simply because it is the partial history that allows the state itself to exist.

And your second point is essentially the metaphysical argument for god and early spirituality. Hebrew mystiscm for example describes god pouring itself into lower forms of being to experience itself

The universe is absolutely full of things you can't imagine but are nonetheless true. Our intuition is only good for a certain regime of space, speed, temperature, pressure, etc. That is why we have tools like mathematics, to expand our minds past our intuition through abstraction.

Because experience _is_ the arrow of time
