You're going towards a dead-end as usual, this is where your thinking leads to : Subjectivesville, population : dunno, everyone counts it up differently, some people only exist on certain days of the week, others think that about 100 separate bodies are themselves so they count them as 1, consensus does not exist even tho' it's held together by a nutter that thinks they are everyone else there. More seriously, but just as true, alls you are doing is reducing every possible thought and action down to 'at the end of the day we each have a body - like mine I am typing this post with here - and a nervous system thru which we perceieve EVERYTHING via. I could build all kinds of machines to measure stuff but I built and designed them all thru my same nervous system using my perception.' I am aware that everything is down to what you percieve and how - that's why people do real sceince, because we can create consensus' - just like in language - languages are not real either, they are just made up so people can communicate using symbols and words that they all agree upon the meanings of. So, if colours have a set wavelength then we can assign a name to that colour and we can all agree on what colour it is. The way you are trying to say I am wrong about time is similar to saying that red is not red because it's just a way we perceieve white light separated out and then reflected off of surfaces, and if we calibrated the EM spectrum differently then red would actually be green. That, in essence, is your arguement against me here.
