Dear RascalPuff,

I don't believe that just because a condition has not been observed means that it cannot be conceptualized, mathmatically represented, and used as a step in a deductive logic sequence. Else, we'd have to throw out most of quantum mechanics, and all of string and quantum loop theories, 'cause we can observe barely any of that! I don't believe time and motion are synonymous, either, otherwise we wouldn't have a separate word for each; and, as D.A.Peel so elegantly pointed out, when something travels at the speed of light, time 'stops'/ceases to exist, while it's obviously still moving, therefore, they are different. Which brings up two interesting things ponder:

1) If time does not exist for a photon travelling at 'C', is there any real need for there to be more than one in the entire universe? After all, it can be everywhere at once.

2) Since inflation apparently occurred faster than the speed of light, did time run backwards during inflation - meaning that by the time our universe expires, or 'crunches',or whatever, zero time will have passed?

BTW, I believe that space & motion are the '4th dimension', although I believe that using the term '4th dimension' will ultimately be proved to be a misnomer. I believe what we like to call the 4th dim. is actually better described as the 'fabric' of our universe, or in classic terms, the aether.
