[catalogued under 27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / b. Rate of time]

Full Idea

Processes can speed up or slow down, but surely the passage of time is not something that can speed up or slow down?

Gist of Idea

Time can't speed up or slow down, so it doesn't seem to be a 'process'
