Prepositions and the Illusion of Chrono-spatiality

In his blog Gypsy Scholarship, Professor Hodges recently raised a slew of difficult philosophical conundrums related to the nature of time and the language we use to talk about time.  He writes:

Does the future come toward us?

Or:

Do we go into the the future?

Or Both . . .

My response?

Neither.

Although time is something we describe with prepositions (to, at, by, on, about, before, near, until, near, during, after...) or with helping verbs that have a tense (will, had, were), this does not mean that a certain time is located somewhere or located in the same way that something is located in space, or in a spatial relation to something else.

(Erm, I think...)
