Abstract
AN argument parallel to that by which Mr. Tolver Preston proposes to prove that Space is nothing will prove with equal cogency that Time is nothing. But if Space is nothing and Time is nothing, then he has the choice of two alternatives, neither of which will he find particularly acceptable. If Space and Time are both nothings, they are identical. If Space and Time are not identical, then they are two nothings which differ. What is the difference between two nothings?
