Therefore, awareness of time is awareness of changes in space. As well, changes in space can only be understood as changes over time. Space and time cannot be subdivided in the mind of mankind, and each can be understood only in terms of the other. Light is the force that enables the interaction of time with space. Light is composed of infinite 'waves' of time that flow into space.
Light is composed of finite 'particles' of space in motion through time.
The most important use of numbers today is still to measure time and space. It is difficult to imagine what life would be like without awareness of the cycle of the year, let alone without awareness of the cycle of the month. All of mankind's ability to be conscious arises from being able to count these cycles of nature. That is, there are people in each society who establish and maintain calendars, such that everyone knows what 'time' it is. It requires too much time and effort for individual people to attempt to count the passing of years, even for people who might know how.
