Time:Nature's way of keeping everything from happening all at once

1. An event occurs, observable from photons that leave it and
are captured by a human retina.

2. The event is is observed by a hypothetical infinite number of
people lined up -- or just a sufficiently large number of people.

3. The event is observed/perceived at imperceptively different
moments in time by each observer.

4. If the universe is infinite ( and if it isn't then what the heck is
it?) then every event that has ever occured or will occur will
never stop occuring for some hypothetical observer.
