Okay, so -- clear up my poor understanding of time.

What is a 'minute'? I'm here in one minute, and over there the next -- but how is that change in position measured?

People confuse time with the presence of other processes.
The processes, biological, mechanical, chemical, electrical, magnetic,
and so on are all separate from a time cause. There is no time cause.

If time did not exist, nothing else could exist. The beginning and end of anything would happen simultaniously. If there is no time between the beginning and the end, for the thing to exist, there can be no existence.

Except if existence and nonexistence happen by a dictionary definition of "simultaneous". That is, "exactly coincident", with no "between".

Possibly methylsulfonylmethane? MSM is used for chronic pain and joint inflammation (among a host of other things), though there isn't much published research about its effectiveness.

:Edit: Oh -- apparently, MSM is also associated with the usual 'mind/thought control' conspiracy stuff that circulates on the 'net now and then.
