    They way they explained it in the articl, no. But I don't accept the idea
    that time is like space. To me time is a perception of change but space is
    where change takes place. It is the think perceived. But Einstein may be
    right -- change may be taking place inside my head as I process the incoming
    data. Give this moron some oxygen, please!
