The Sand Dune

The sand dune never truly exists in a single moment that can be cordoned off, quantified, and recorded by a scientist or a philosopher. Bergson thought our understanding of time was yet another example of us projecting our thousands of years of spatially biased thinking onto a universe that can't be fully understood spatially. To even think of the sand dune in this way is to look at things in terms of what they are in this particular moment.
