Predicting the Past

They tell us that time is the fourth dimension, so we experience X, Y, Z and Time. That's quite comforting, however time isn't like the other three from my point of view.

I can move in both directions in any of the other three dimensions: I can go right, and I can also go left, down as well as up. If time is merely an extension of spatial dimensions, then why does is only go in one direction?

We have full knowledge of the moment as it happens. We have a dim memory of that which has already been, but we have no idea of that which awaits us.




Here is a picture of a Dog.

Dismal dark depressing dull damp disappointing December. Hmm. Lets remind ourselves of summer when there were shadows in pictures. Lets concentrate on where the light isn't: Sometimes its the shadows that define a picture. Here are some of hard light examples from the Mediterranean, and each one will have needed some exposure compensation. The first images hints at a sunny day. This one gives you the evidence: A clear blue sky glimpsed between shadows. This third image, also from the much rebuilt and restored fort at Paphos , allows us to see more of the building. A pleasing succession of arches and the reward is the sunshine at the end And finally one last shadow picture: One for Arthur C Clark: The Monolith in Newbury Kennet Centre car park. Its been there for 4.2 Billion years. No one knows what it does.
