Are you saying it is impossible for Event 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. to happen at exactly that same point in time?

No two independent events can happen at the same time in theory. To the eye, a stopwatch that rounds to hundredths, or your alarm clock, perhaps they can. But in reality, one happened first, and the other second.

Time doesn't exist "short of infinity". Just because you saw things happen at the same time doesn't mean they happened at the same time. There hasn't been any tool that can back up what I'm saying, my theory is based off of philosophy rather than science

Just joggling ya'lls brain, nothing more.
