Time=

I am no physicist by any means, just an ever curious carpenter wondering about it all and taking in as much info as possible. Time equals "distance from the now," does it not? You are in a tiny spaceship capable of traveling exactly the speed of light, hovering inches above a pond when a boy throws a pebble into the water. At the moment the stone hits the surface and makes the first dimple, the now, you zoom toward outer space alongside the photons that carry the image of the stone first hitting the water. No matter how far you travel, when you look outside the image is alongside you, so you have traveled zero distance from the now and no time has passed. But the boy who threw the stone says it was six seconds ago. Wouldn't that be the same as saying six seconds from the now, which has become a measure of distance? Wouldn't time be a measure of distance from the Big Bang? Archived source: https://web.archive.org/web/20130113025626/http://www.spacetimeandtheuniverse.com:80/against-mainstream/5909-time.html
