You have to get old because of the geometry of spacetime.

Light is time at maximum compression and matter is space at maximum compression (proton as a mini black hole).

But Einstein came along and took space and time out of the realm of stationary things and put them in the realm of relativity—giving the onlooker dominion over time and space, because time and space are modes by which we think and not conditions in which we live.

In some sense, gravity does not exist; what moves the planets and the stars is the distortion of space and time.

Everything I do now
Was once an unremembered dream.
-Spoken by Dr. Perry after return from the chrysalis

You must accept that the universe does not owe you anything. It has already given you everything.
