Why do we allow small differences to come between us all the time? We know we are each different, we are each “individuals”. So even knowing that, why do we allow ourselves to be so unable or unwilling to accept differences in others?
It’s something that has been going on forever and half a day. Having issue with others due to their differences seems to be the norm, the status quo, for so many people. Is that because they are so short sighted? Was this the way they were raised, and know no different? Is it because of some sort of genetic marker that makes us human, that we can not accept others and their differences?

In physics, the speed of light (usually denoted c) is a fundamental physical constant, the speed at which light and all electromagnetic radiation travel in a perfect vacuum, which is 299,792,458 meters per second (about 300,000 kilometers per second or 186,000 miles per second). This constant is significant in the understanding and study of relativity, space-time, astronomy, space travel, and other fields.
But in our everyday world, what is light? And how does it affect each of us? Well, without light there wouldn’t be much life around would there? It provides us sustenance and endless amounts of energy. What a wonderful thing right?
We hear terms such as; “A thousand points of light” or “There is always a light at the end of the tunnel” used frequently. Personally I like the tunnel one, but with a slight change; “Sometimes that oncoming light in the tunnel, isn’t always an train!”. I tend to use that a lot myself.

Einstein’s theory of relativity brings fourth the assumption that time goes more slowly in higher gravitational fields. This is called gravitational time dilation. And in addition; frame-dragging, in which a rotating mass "drags along" the space time around it.
So what does this mean to those of us, just trying to get by day to day? Well, honestly not much. But what is time? Why are we so preoccupied with its passing, and its direction? If we can not control the future, why are we concerned so much with how it will play out?
The past worries us as a whole, and it is something that brings us great sorrow daily. Even though we can not change the past, we look towards it to change our future and shape the paths we take. And for that reason, the past also gives us great hope for the future.
We have as a society, become very much about the “me” and the “moment”. Many of us live our days, hour by hour, sometimes minute by minute. We look at the time we have available to us and really do not give it much of a thought. We think we have plenty of time available to us, to do tomorrow, what we could have done today.
