Time and Light

I read 'time is a drag' on a profile update yesterday. Time IS a drag... so is gravity and other assorted things that are causing me to age.

I learned some interesting facts about time. The faster you travel... the slower time passes. It's something Einstein theorized about and was proven right. Light travels at a constant speed no matter what impedes it. Even when it bends, is reflected or is diffused it still travels at 186,000 miles per second. You cannot change the speed of light... it is a constant. Time is not a constant... even though we usually think of it that way.

Theoretically, if you could travel at light speed... time would stand still. If you think about it, if you were traveling at the speed of light would you still be able to see it? Would you be in the light? Part of the light? What would happen? It is said that light is a wave and if you were traveling at the same speed you would be 'riding' the wave. Now that's some high speed surfing.

God refers to himself as 'the light'. He also refers to himself as a 'constant'... always present - never changing. I find that pretty interesting in 'light' (haha) of the things we now know about light. It stands to reason that if you are 'the light', time doesn't matter. Time doesn't matter to God. He knows the beginning and the end of 'time'. A day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day for him. These things were written millennia before anyone knew what we now know about light.

Just something to think about… in case time is dragging for you ;)
