Out of line

We are habitually conditioned to treat of time as consisting of a long, singular "line", leading to such absurd questions as where must this line "begin" or "end" (how thick is it? is it really composed of infinitesimal points or 'slices'?). But these are only properties of lines, not of time. What does a line have to do with time? 

If time is really any "thing" at all, the one "thing" it most definitely is NOT is a line.
