It is theorized that the faster an object moves through three-dimensional space, the slower it moves through time. Movement through both is proportional. As an object approaches the speed of light, time slows down markedly relative to a slower-moving object. However, should an object attain the speed of light, its movement through time effectively stops. Photons and neutrinos move at the speed of light, indicating that they would not move through time at all. It takes photons ejected from the sun 8 minutes to reach us on earth. So, if we age 8 minutes because we move so slowly (relatively) through three-dimensional space, but the photon ages not at all, does that mean that all photons, even those created at the time of the Big Bang, are of the exact same age?
Something that's bugged me since I read a couple of books by Stephen Hawking and Brian Greene.
theoretically, everything in the universe was created at the big bang. it has all been meandering its way thru te universe ever since. matter cant create itself thou, so everything must have come from something. but something cant be created out of nothing, so, something had to create the something before the something could evolve into other things.
thats basically my spiritual conundrum
