One of the confusions befuddling our understanding has been the
bifurcation of the spacetime manifold into <space> and <time>.
Neither a timeless space nor a spaceless time is conceiveable. Our
senses simply apprehend (grasp) the manifold in differing ways. In
vision, the spatial aspect predominates; in audition, the temporal.
However, in each case, "both" are co-present in perception. Our
mistake (dating back at least to Kant) has been to absolutize these
predominances, and therefore to implicitly deny the temporal in
vision and the spatial in audition. Notice that in taction, our most
basic sense, that "both" are apprehended more or less to an equal
degree.
