Second 1.5 page paper
For this short paper (< 350 words, if possible), you will build on your Week Four discussion. Summarize the argument made in one YouTube video for or against the reality of time. This should be confined to one paragraph. If you realize you chose poorly for the discussion and want to select a different video for this paper, that is acceptable. Please keep in mind that because this is a paper, you need a proper citation/reference for the video. The formatting style is up to you (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), but it has to be a legitimate style.
In a second paragraph, discuss whether you feel the argument in the video is right or wrong and why. These are your beliefs and while they should be logical, they should express your true feelings even if they are not completely justified by logic or science.
Finally, state whether you feel like time is something we can understand empirically or relativistically and what that means about the nature of reality.
Example of the last point: "Time is more a where than a when and can be determined empirically by measuring various spatial relationships in a very real cosmos."
Be creative, be imaginative and above all, ponder how all of this matters to your understanding of science and the nature of reality.
