TIME AND COMMON SENSE

Common sense is the sum of all the senses. Common sense tells us that the Sun revolves around the Earth, when in fact it is the Earth that revolves around the Sun. Observations of common sense must be verified.

For example:

1- Time flows. (T)
Phenomena occur continuously from before to after.

2- Time is what clocks measure. (T)
In clocks we see a periodic phenomenon of uniform rhythm.

3- A minute of pain lasts longer than a minute of pleasure. (F)

4- Time flows in only one direction, from the start to the end of the events. (T)
The life of people (and all animals) runs from birth (start) to death (end), never the other way around.

5- Time is divided into past, present and future. (T)
Time is the dimension that organizes events in past, present and future.

6- Only present exists. (T)
It is true, but events could not progress without a previous past and a later future.
