   And where does the time go when you are asleep? A child can sleep for   
   ten hours whereas an elderly person can sleep for four hours. The one   
   who doesn't want to go to bed early ends up using more of their time   
   sleeping. As a child, the summer holidays seemed like an eternity and   
   the school days dragged on. Time is merely a conception. This concept   
   is used to measure a "passing" of events. When there is nothing to   
   gauge the time, how can you say it exists? Time became a human   
   conception because of death, or no time left.   
   If I should be dead, then what would the life of 10,000 universes be?   
   A blink of the eye?
