God is in the details damn it! He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Dumb atheist infidels.  :angel: :lol:
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

From a human perspective space and time are different : space is visualised whilst time is experienced
In other words you see space but you feel time. One mind bending paradox about time is that its three
arrows [ psychological / thermodynamic / cosmological ]  all move forward though everything we see is 
in the past. That is because of the time it takes for light to travel from any object to us. For even if that
is as close to us as physically possible we still see it in the past. Of course the time that it takes for light
to travel small distances fools our brain into thinking we are seeing things in the present. The only place
however that the present really exists is in our own minds. Everywhere else it is permanently in the past
A MIND IS LIKE A PARACHUTE : IT DOES NOT WORK UNLESS IT IS OPEN

Psychological time is also cultural.  In Japanese, your POV is assumed to be looking into the past, because you can't see the future (this is the traditional view).  Americans would be the exact opposite ... because we are progressive.  We choose a goal, and go for it, like archery and Robin Hood.

The physical time in physics is needed to measure velocity. Without motion, time wouldn't exist. What does it mean that you're 20 years old? It means you have travelled twenty times around the sun. You can't define any unit of time without referring to some type of motion. And you're right: "Everywhere else it is permanently in the past." That was made clear with Einstein's theory of relativity with the speed of light being a universal constant and as a limiting factor.
