What about time?
- eternal return
- He professes that the wish for the eternal return of all events would mark the ultimate affirmation of life:
- What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: 'This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more' ... Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.' [The Gay Science, §341]
Stranger: What is metaphysics?
You: the nature of reality
Stranger: but physics is also making argument about that
You: physics is about matter and energy
Stranger: Ok by matter and energy, physics illustrate the nature of reality
You: It's just implied that I mean 'immaterial' reality
You: Immaterial reality then pertains to what is not constrained by physical laws, eg concepts such as ‘character’ and the ‘mind’, Plato’s Forms, the realm of God and spirits...
You: time
You: although, time is a measurement in physics
You: but it comes from metaphysics
You: since time is a human construct
Stranger: Is time a human construct?
You: time isn't explained by physics
You: if it is where?
You: when I study regular physics I use time as a measurement
