An Earth human whose name was Augustine once sang in his confession:
"What, then, is time? "If no one asks me, I know.
"If I wish to explain it to someone who asks, I know not."
But one of the aiodoi, who do know that they are also scientists (since the aiodoi know that they are everything), sings instead: "Time is always. "Time is all.
"Time is only illusion, but there is no other truth than time."
