Space is the stuff between two places. No places...no space. Before 
there were places there was no space.

Time is the stuff between two events. No events...no time.

There is someone here on theforge who uses a signature line something 
like..."plenty of time to sleep in the grave". The thing is that the 
really good parts of sleep are 1) going to sleep and 2)waking up from 
sleep. If you go to sleep and don't wake up...no time.

No fun.
