Physics is no clearer now than it was 100 years ago:sad:
Euler and Gauss plunderd the low-lying fruit in physics
as well as number theory. (See Fivemack's "Why do we bother"
thread).

Do you have any clue to how ridiculous your statement is?

Alright - keep your hair on.
I was merely lamenting how far I am from understanding
what underlies the cited article. Perhaps you are closer?

Not particularly. I know that there is far more that I don't understand than what I do understand so I find it ridiculous to think there is little left to learn.

It's ridiulous to think that is what I implied.

Where to start?
 

Don't want to give anyone a past||present|| future headache,
but you might begin an abstract analysis of time with the statement:
'time stands still', and go from there.

Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana. :missingteeth:

I thought it was low-[i]hanging[/i] fruit ... never considered that fruit might "lie low", like a hunted animal. Shows you how much I know.

Time flies arrow-dynamically, fruit has banan-appeal?

Or in Teutsch:

[i]Die Fliege zeigt, das Zeit fliegt.[/i]

Deep question: In the presence of a temporal banana peel, might time actually slip instead of flying?

I thought that it was a directive.

"Time flies" as (in the same manner that you would) an arrow.
So get out your high speed cameras, etc. and let's see just how fast they travel.
