        @scottieimp @neiltyson the passage of time is a core aspect of the cosmos, being significant astronomically and otherwise

        @wakeyoh @neiltyson but in the cosmos, our concept and measurement of time is insignificant It's been developed as an arbitrary measurement

        @scottieimp @neiltyson awareness of time is significant, time is more so; time's as significant as the existence of matter and space..
