The "reply w/quote" button was removed a few months ago because of widespread abuse. You can still quote, but you have to do so manually. Place the text you want quoted between one of the two types of UBB quote, eg, this:
[quote]When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.[/quote]
Becomes this:

And this other type of quote:
[qs]When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.[/qs]

time is omnipresent, eternal, and is fully able to exist in its own right. space on the other hand is a slave to time.
So you're saying that space and time are separate entities, that time is the controlling variable, and that Einstein and modern physics are wrong? And you know this how?
