27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 1. Nature of Time / b. Relative time
There is no time without movement [Aristotle]
     Full Idea: There can be no time without movement.
     From: Aristotle (Coming-to-be and Passing-away (Gen/Corr) [c.335 BCE], 337a24)
     A reaction: See Shoemaker's nice thought experiment as a challenge to this. Intuition seems to cry out that if movement stopped for a moment, that would not stop time, even though there was no way to measure its passing.
