For as finite creatures all the reality that can be experienced lies in a narrow but widening zone somewhere between zero and infinity, all being measurably positive with respect to zero and immeasurably negative as regards infinity, neither of which can be experienced, both of which can be imagined. The verb is (to be) has no place in the world outside of ourselves. Zero and infinity both, by definition, are outside the realm of objective experience.

  Ralph Waldo Emerson calls it the “Eternal now” because though ever improving and changing it is always with us. Physics calls it universal action and our finite part in it interaction. When we mark it off /?/ we call it happenings or events.
