To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is a contingent adjective of the events where it is situated. Its spatio-temporal properties are entirely derived from the events which it qualifies. For example, its use depends on the recognition of simultaneity, so that we shall not observe its two ends at widely different times. But simultaneity concerns events. Also the mere self-identity of the yard-measure does not suffice for its use, since we also admit the continued identity of objects which shrink or expand. The yard-measure is me...rely a device for making evident obscure relations between those events in which it appears. If congruence merely meant relations between con- tingent adjectives of appearance, there would be no measurement of spatial distance or of temporal lapse without knowledge of actual intervening appearances, and no meaning for such distance in the absence of these adjectives. For example, the ' distance of the star Sirius ' would be a phrase without meaning. You will have observed that in this doctrine of cog- nisance by relatedness I am merely taking the old belief that we know of unbounded time and of unbounded space and am adapting it to my inversion which gives the supremacy to events and reduces time and space to mere relations between them.
