Dear Hal,
in "my" multiverse it is a characteristic of this 'our' world to have
developed (into?) a space and time system. I would not assign
time to all others just becauseso we can understand it better.
(The story of the driver who looks for his (in the darkenss) dropped carkeys
around the corner under the streetlamp, because there he can see better).
I don't understand (or know) how to handle atemporal worlds, but - Hey! - do
we understand everything? (only on this list).

Have a good 2005

John Mikes
