And here I am contemplating the possibility that time does not exist. Wrap your mind around this for a while:

According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time and space are the same thing being expressed in different ways, and that space and time change as you increase your speed. At the speed of light, according to this theory, time simply stops.

This presents us with the oddity that photons cannot travel, because time does not exist for them. They do not have time, and therefore, time and space being the same thing being expressed in two different ways, space also cannot exist for a photon, meaning that photons have an infinite (or no) speed, and either exist at their point of origination and destination only, or that both points are one and the same.

Yet we say that light is composed of photons, and that they travel through space at 186,000 miles per second. For that to be true, they must exist within time and space... because time and space are required for speed to exist, and travel to happen. Speed is the amount of space traversed per unit of time, and travel is the distance of movement between two points, within time. The two are intimately entwined because space and time are two expressions of the same thing... which is why we call them the space/time continuum.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here... but whatever time actually is... you're right. Don't waste it. :-)
