Horse
I have to take task with you on this and I find myself aligning with Platt,
there are absolutes (truths)
For example:-
1. time always moves forward
2. light moves away from an object at C - the speed of light, C (the
constant) may change , but light will still move away from an object at C
3. each dimension in the universe runs at an equal angle away from all
others
I'd like to see anyone counter these
