 ALMOST HALF A MILLION VIEWS
SINCE THIS BLOG BEGAN
This blog is now in its 14th year
I began to write it in December 2012.

The central theme of this blog is the human understanding and perception of time. I found I was able to write in depth about how our modern concept of linear time, with a past, present, and future, evolved from animal time, which is immediate and in the moment. It was/is this sense of time, I believe, that gave us our ability to plan and build, and was essential for the creation of our civilizations. 

In any case, even if people disagree with my conclusions, I feel I have asked important questions, questions that have not been addressed until now. 

I reprint my blogs on three academic sites as PDF files you can read online or download.

Here are my stats as of today
  • 267,020 = Blogger
  • 65,158 item views / 19,779 item downloads Figshare.com (site was down so these are old stats from July 24)
  • 40,915 views / downloads = approx 5000 Academia.edu
  • 97,936 = Research Gate views
  • TOTAL = 490,808
