Time and its need. Also, why at all must the light travel?

Dear Dick,

I wonder how I can try and convince you of the need use and reality about
'Time' or 'Time Stamp'.

I am sure you must be following certain line of thinking on the subject and
proposing your ideas based on such findings. If you have any background
material on your ideology you may share with me.

As of this instance, I have this to state about what 'Time' means to me.

It is of course a dimension and a steady scale measuring the aging Process ;
of everything Universe, you and me.

If I may say so, you seem to discount the relevance of 'Time' and view
Universe as a 'System' like 'Automata' in Computer Science where the
'System' remains as it is unless some external input is received. Between
such instances equivalence prevails and 'Time' is static.

Well,then even the best design of computer is based on a real-time clock for
controlling every step.

In a real world[our universe] a lot of things happen in a steady rate.
The sun blowing out its rays,carbon decay,light traveling etc and etc which
requires us to measure and 'time stamp' every occurrence for correlation.

Why should you have an objection to it?

Because the Universe taken as a whole can never remain same between instants
however minutely interspaced.

I really wonder what is the 'compelling reason' for light to 'travel' or
'propogate'.
Why at all it is starting - where it is headed to from its origin.
But I don't object to it. We just have to understand.

If we can find this reason and the cycle of 'cause and effect' we may reach
somewhere. That is, what exactly is the cause of 'emission of light', 'where
it is headed to' and 'what is its aim'?

Maybe it is just obeying the command "Let there be light".
