Absolute, true, and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows equably, without regard to any thing external, and, by another name, is called duration. Relative, apparent, and common...

...Newton distinguished time according as it was absolute or apparent time, in the following words : — ' Absolute, true, and mathematical time of itself and from its own nature, flows equably without regard to anything external, and by another name is called duration ; relative, apparent and common...

...dependent on locality, and I will quote on this point but one authority, the great Sir Isaac Newton. " Absolute true and mathematical time of itself, and from its own nature, flows equally without regard to anything external." Our finite minds are incapable of understanding fully...
