 Personaly I like the thought that time is only a concept that man has 
reated
to explain the mysteries of memory. Time does not exist in this universe. 
All things are simply movement through space. All mater is mearly changing 
form
and location. Now if want to use the argument of the speed of light and
time dilation. The old theory where there are two brothers one goes off
at the speed of light and comes back only aged acouple of years while his
brother has aged 100 years. The brother going the speed of light gains more 
mass and that slows time. This to me is not a temporal reaction it is 
the effect of gravity on the subatomic particals. They mearly move through 
space
at a diferent rate than the rest of the universe. This is a phisical 
henomena
not a tempral one. 
 Although I find is rather dificult to express my oinion using a language
based on time (Pasttence, present, future tence).
 Einstine said that time and space are so intertwined they are vertually one.
Why not just drop the time and keep the space?
