The appearance of time in the evolution of mankind has been greatly exaggerated rumors of it's existance have plagued the scientific community for I don't really know how long but I am sure it has been many astronomical units. Numerous experiments by misguided physicists smashing bits of matter together will never lead to the god particle. Linear intervals of existance probably can't be proven with flawed mathematics and large hammers. Even when weilded by plummers. If we were to shoot Stephen Hawking into a blackhole would he emerge in another universe where none of the rules in this universe exist or would his time have merely run its course in some fold in space. It has been suggested by an unknown ancient writer that time and tide wait for no man which probably means it's already gone.
