Does time only exist because there is movement in the universe? If things didn't move (at all), then would time exist? Maybe they each rely on each other. Just a stupid little thought I just had.
According to Einstein, everything in the universe travels through space-time at the speed of light. In other words, there is a maximum combined speed at which anything can be travelling through space or time. You can think of it like this. We all have a certain amount of energy that is devoted to travelling through space-time. If we are not moving, then all of that energy is devoted to travelling through time. If we ARE moving, then some of that energy is spent on travelling through space. The more energy we devote to travelling through space, the less we have left with which to travel through time. Photons, which travel at the speed of light (for obvious reasons) don't age, because they are devoting ALL of thier energy to travelling through space. So, you COULD say, time goes by because we aren't moving fast enough! Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
Time is a tool your mind uses in the form of perception to measure changes in the environment in a linear fashion. If there were no movement then there would be nothing to measure and eventually your SENSE of time would atrophy and you would plunge into madness as you scuffed the floor of the mental ward with you canary yellow flip-flops...
