Einstein and Time (Humans)

Matt and I are once more locking horns over his insistence that time is not real.
> -Time is not an objective property of the universe. It is relative to the point of irrelevance... -It exists because we MAKE it exist. -> Last night I began to draft a point by point reply to your post, Matt, and to the article you asked me to read. You may be relieved to hear that I soon stopped, because although it was point by point, it was pointless. We would only continue to go over the same ground. For the moment I would therefore like to home in on just one issue, which I think lies at the heart of our disagreement:
> 
> Please tell us your criteria for judging what is and is not real.-dhw is asking me for my own "order of rank" here. No offense, but I think this is a worse question than the issue that spawned it. -We'll start simply, then modify as needed. -We can establish the reality of something minimally by agreement--David, dhw, and I can all see the sun.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
