123jack, yes time is an abstract concept.. especially when you consider the traditional definition. but i would point out that energy is not defined properly either, as it is also vague. mostly, you find energy as being defined as related to power.. and then you look up definition of power and find its definition based on something to do with energy. this is circular logic and therefor not properly defined. power can be defined as time rate of flow of energy, i think that is fair. but i don't know what energy IS (and therefore can not define it) .. i can only describe what it DOES and how some FORMS behave... but what it IS, i have no idea. i feel the same about time, it is also an abstract concept that i can not yet fully appreciate.
but for some reason, i feel really comfortable with my expression of its existence in nature. i think it is the same word as aEther. just a floating "energy" .. but energy in its base form.. BEFORE it gets converted to heat, sound, kinetic, electrical .. etc. when energy is brought from this non-observable domain into our 3D world .. that is when we perceive it.. but only in it's "new" form. we never see it in its base form.
lightning r fun. what i said was based on my experience and a look back in history. some time ago, we thought landing on the moon was impossible and then we did it. Einstein said there was enough energy in the head of a needle to blow up a city.. we all laughed .. and then they did it. so i think you can not say what is for certain to be discovered in the future.. maybe there IS a way to create energy from nothing (and then we'd have to re-write all the texts). i accept this as possible, just as possible as we may find out "nope, we were right all along, it NOT possible". what i am saying is that i have an open mind and do not pre-judge those that will come after us.
when i look at our history and at our accomplishments .. i think that all is open to us to discover, we just have to be clever enough to figure it out. don't close your mind off to the possibilities.
p.s. you asked for an example, and i thought a lot about it. the only good one i could think of is the moment that a baby in the womb obtains consciousness.. i think this is a miracle, but also is the creation of energy (mind-space form) and did not exist a moment ago at that location in 3D world (mothers womb).
wow.. this topic is going into crazy land. hope you can keep up!
