Xeno, 
You and I are arguing for the same side of the coin ;) And, by answering the questions, you illustrated my point beautifully.->I don't see how the question of "framework" plays in. We are humans. We only >have a "human" conception of time. We have no knowledge of any other; and >moreso, our conception of time is false.-Framework plays in as a relation to another discussion thread on here, consciousness. Framework, conception, perspective are only available to a conscious entity. More importantly, only a consciousness aware of both self and other. Animals controlled by instinct, adaptation, or behavior learned by repetition show no discernible acknowledgment of the concept of time.->

I found your answer to this last question interesting. Will think on it some more before replying to it.-> > [*]Do each of the different camera angles reflect reality?
> They are a recording of different angles of the same reality. 
> > [*]How can each of the different perspectives be real if they are all different?
> I don't see why this question is here; each camera captured a different angle of the same events.-This question is here because of a few reasons. One, time is relative to the viewer. To a person viewing the scene from an emotionally detached and uninterested viewpoint might time may seem to drag on interminably, while to a viewer with a vested interest or intense curiosity time may 'fly' by. To a person involved in the chase scene(using the analogy of a film), senses heightened from the adrenaline rush may seem to make time slow down, where a few seconds seem like minutes or hours. -If each persons perspective of time is relative to them, are all perspectives real? The answer of course no, because time is only a measurement tool, not a real physical property.
