The 'concept' of time has always fascinated me. What ever 'force' or 'being' created both us and the universe gave us atomic particles that can decay in milliseconds; our individual lives are measured in mere years; and the universe as far as we have determined at this point is roughly 14 or 15 billion years old.

How can that be? What is the purpose of creating a life form that exists mere years in a universe that will continue for perhaps billions of years or forever?

Very strange.

Time is just a reference (point) in (this) physical reality. A part of the creation. After you die you exist in a “no time” environment.

What is the life expectancy of a fresh baked cookie compared to the entire prep time? That includes all the processes. From growing the grain, raising the cane, down the line to actually mixing them in a bowl and baking. See what I mean?

It´s possible that God cares for many life forms throughout the universe; particularly those that have abstracted information from their environment thus to know Him.

>>Very strange.

Even stranger when one considers that Time is a derivative function of state-change that progresses relative to E within the inertial frame(s) in which it is observed.

As E approaches infinity an eternity could pass within a single blink of an unmoved eye...
