Environmental Degradation, Reparations, and the Moral Significance of History.

 Caney agues that climate change has had negative effects on people, but especially on those who live in low income places. There's a social and environmental injustice that effects people in low income housing because they don't have the same access to certain resources.  Throughout the article he talks about reparations for climate change and who is responsible to pay them. Those who may be morally responsible are not around, so the question of who it falls on arises. That goes with the reparations of slavery. Those who should be held responsible aren't around anymore. Society says that when someone makes a mistake they should be held responsible for it, but in this case we can't do that. Caney brings up a few ideas of how we make make reparations, but ultimately they're not effective since the people truly responsible are not here.

Making Time.

 A second is defined a a measure of time. The article defines time as, "The duration of exactly 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to a hyperfine transition of caesium-133 in the ground state." Seconds are waves produced from atoms. A second is known as a ticking which measures atomic time. A standard clock measures frequency, stability, and accuracy. It uses atomic time to measure standard time. Time was standardized by syncing frequencies to create regularity and stability.

Relativity of Simultaneity.

 Relativity of simultaneity is when observers disagree over weather or not two events happened at the exact same time or not. There are two theories that can explain the reason for relativity of simultaneity. the first one is light signals and the second is motion. If the observer was moving when the event occurred it could change the timing they say it. However there is no way to prove two events spaced out happened at the exact same time. Relativity of simultaneity is not the effect of an event. It's also not based on how we perceive it. Going back to the question is time unreal, I'm still perplexed about it. I think time is real, it just depends on how we feel it at times. A event is always past, present, future, it just depends on the time.
