I talked to a physicist friend, Dr Paul, the other day about time. He told me that he and his colleagues are trying to eliminate time from theoretical physics. It's not an axiomatic fundamental aspect of absolute reality.

According to neuro-psychologists, time is a mental construct, part of the framework within which we process input and then project a subjective, virtual reality to compensate for our inability to perceive absolute reality, a sort of reality tunnel created by said framework.

WTF? In my head, absolute reality is that virtual reality. What use is absolute reality to me if I can't perceive or ever understand it?
Well, scientists want to understand it, describe it.. 
And for scientists, understanding means doing the math.

With Quantum Geometry Dynamics, Dan Burnstein found a way to tie absolute reality to the perception of reality that fills our heads,

Trippin’ on a Spinal Drip

...tick...tock...tick...tock

Gotta stop, that Dali clock.

It hurries me to’ard a plastic future,

Burdens me with a plastic past,

Tolls the present every second,

But when I hear it, the present is past.

Damn you, Dali clock, damn you,

Melt on down the drain,

Drip your essence through my eyes,

Infinitize my brain.

I’m doin’ time while time does me,

Forever and an age,

Trippin’ on a chemical drip

Inside this plastic cage.
