Jean,

Most humans understand that there is something "physical" about the
universe. Unfortunately, no mortal can explain what "physical" means
or what "time" is or what "space" is physically. What makes you think
that this knowledge is within your grasp? What do you think motivates
mortals to be dissatisfied with being humble and refuse to progress in
learning by struggling to answer simpler questions? It seems that the
most foolish of mortals want to wrest from God the ultimate and most
powerful secrets from God's mind and take over running the universe
directly. Why are you dissatisfied with just attaining the
attainable?

Shubee,

You could be right in that it is foolish to ponder about questions
that perhaps are too deep for humans, and only God can know. So then I
am foolish, and I make no appologies for that. This is not the first
time that someone tells me that I am foolish. I take no offense, and
will keep your advise under consideration.

Just a little story to give you an idea of the kind of mind I
acquired. As a little boy, I preferred to be alone throwing a rubber
ball against the wall of the house. The ball would bounce back, I
would catch it, and throw it again, and so on. Then the question came
to me: by the behaviour of the ball, how can I tell what kind of wall
that the ball bounces against? I realized quickly that this was a very
difficult question to answer.

Well, I find that this story is similar to the question of the
behaviour of a particle in Space-Time and the Space-Time itself. Not
at all obvious, but it remains very interesting to ponder about.

Regards,

Jean
