Who do you expect to believe that invisible microscopic stuff when you can't
even believe the visible stuff put to you?

Shead ought to point his nose at the Sun, whereof the distance of

which is most conveniently measured with a yard stick or two.

So what about time? Or can you show me a measurable quantity that has
no time?
