For some reason I always thought of 'eternity' as time ever-lasting; for the rest of time, where ongoing time was part of the equation. Now I'm thinking that the only way that makes sense is by defining 'eternity' as the end of time, or the state where time no longer exists.

That makes me think of the concept in physics related to time travel, where the faster you go, closer to the speed of light, the slower time runs. It is also stated that nothing except light can travel at the speed of light. Hmph, how convenient. But theoretically, if something gets asymptotically closer to the speed of light, does it get correspondently slower in time? Maybe time stops altogether at the speed of light, i.e., eternity?

But I also already carry around the wacky notion that God=the speed of light.
