Time

Time is not a thing that exists.  It is a thing that we experience.

But why do we experience time?  I have a theory...

If you move at the speed of light, time slows to a stop.  You can go any distance, and you will not experience any time.  If you go to Pluto at the speed of light, it would be like you blinked and you were there.  You would not experience the journey.
The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time would seem to you, while moving at that speed.

Now time also stops when you are near an extremely dense object, like a black hole.
When you are near a star or planet time simply slows, as it does when you move near the speed of light.

When you combine an extremely dense object with near light speed travel, you can also have the same effect of slowing time to a stop.  If you have half the density of a black hole and travel at half the speed of light, time would again stop.

The reason for this is because nothing can move faster than the speed of light.  So nothing in your body can move, or it would be traveling at faster than the speed of light as it was being moved at the speed of light.

Now, for the theory of us experiencing time.

The speed of light is approximately 186,000 miles per second or 669,600,000 miles per hour.

The electrons in our bodies move at a speed of 1,367 miles per second, or 4,921,200 miles per hour.
The Earth spins at 1040 miles per hour.
The Earth moves around our Sun at 18 miles per second, or 64,800 miles per hour.
The Sun travels around the universe at approximately 143 miles per second, or 514,800 miles per hour.
The universe is expanding at a speed of 151,200 miles per hour.

Combining all of these brings us to 5,653,040 miles per hour or 0.008% the speed of light.

If we moved faster time would move more slowly.  If we slowed to a stop, time wouldn't be experienced at all.  It would all happen in an instant.

Remember that we are also on a planet that has mass, surrounded by more planets and a star that we are revolving around, that also have mass that will effect our experience of time.

If we were able to get to a point in space, all alone, nowhere near any celestial object and slow ourselves to a stop (relative to the speed of space) all time would fly by in an instant.

Now, if the "Big Bang Theory" is correct, then space is expanding from the explosion and there is another theory that it is collapsing.  What if it collapses back into a singularity after it expands to its maximum size?

Now, if we are just experiencing time because of the speed at which we are moving, does that mean that if we were to remove the idea of speed and gravity and time altogether, would we be changing from a singularity to a fully expanded universe, back to a singularity, over and over again, instantly, infinitely?

When you die, your electrical impulses in your brain leave your body.  Once they leave your body there is no longer any resistance.  They are free to travel at the speed of light.  Everything would stop, until you returned to the center with everything else.  The center of the universe, all things combined into a singularity, all knowledge and existence in something the size of an atom.

God.
