But I didn't ask 'who' has authored that oft repeated quotation.
I've asked 'who' are 'we' in this statement:
The source is the Nature. Our mind is the destination.
Speculations about a nature of time pop up quite often in one form or another. But I've never seen those on a nature of space. I wonder, why? What makes time so much more ... mysterious?
This question refers to the rotation of a galaxy, right? Why would a gravitational interaction between DM halo and the galactic matter make DM halo to follow the rotation of galactic matter? Why would a gravitational force on DM in the direction of the galaxy rotation be larger than the gravitational force on DM in the opposite direction?
Doesn't particle diffraction demonstrate the uncertainty principle? The narrower the opening, i.e. the uncertainty in position, the wider the range of directions, i.e. the uncertainty in momentum. E.g.:

I don't think that the very first concept of time needs to be a quantifiable time. That could come later.
'Something' in the 'change of something' is the context.
I can't connect a body clock with the concept of time. The concept rises with a perception of change.
Modern physics has degraded into the study of Nature's grandeur rather than focusing on one specific type of biological machinery capable to study it, albeit with difficulties. Of course, the latter is important as well.
"We" who? We rather test it.
"We" who?
How about the fact that electron doesn't fall onto a nucleus in spite of their electrical attraction? Electron cannot be localized on the nucleus and stay there because otherwise it would be in a state with very precise position and momentum.
Just a few clarifications:
1. A 'speed' of particle is not well defined. The uncertainty principle relates rather position and momentum.
2. Position is a three-dimensional vector in space, say along x, y, and z axes. Momentum also is a three-dimensional vector. The uncertainty principle relates position and momentum of a particle along the same axis. Its position along axis x, for example, and its momentum along axis y can be measured at the same time.
3. Position and momentum along one axis cannot be measured simultaneously because there is no such state in which a particle would have a definite position and a definite momentum along one axis. This inability is a matter of particle states rather than that of measurements.
I am not sure what
means, but I know of only one instance in the history of science pertaining to a change in understanding of time. I.e., from Newtonian time to SR time. Or, more specifically, from Newtonian simultaneity to simultaneity in SR.
So, we focus on 'invisible images' only, for the purposes of this thread. Let's for short call them, II.
We know that a song in one's head is not an II. Also, visual hallucinations are not IIs.
Now, the question is, what is an II? Do people form JJs?
