“I note that it is 4:30 at 4:30: ‘I looked at the clock at 4:30 and saw that it was 4:30.’ This underlines the extent to which, as timers, we both stand outside of time and are immersed in it. To know that it is 4:30 is to be at 4:30, and also to be looking on 4:30 as if from a temporal outside. So in subjecting time to timing, we seem to have succeeded in stepping to one side of time in some respect, while of course, remaining in it.”
