TWO SINGERS

Instead of using light, sound is perhaps a better phenomena to use as an example comprehend the universal present. Two singers sing a duet. They start and finish together. As they are singing they walk away from one another continuing to sing. When they finish they are too far apart to still hear one another. They can see each other however, and see that they finish at the same moment.

Next gig for our singers has them singing there songs from their seats in two jetliners. They all well rehearsed in their timing, and complete the song at the same moment this time many, many miles apart. It is however the same moment. They are not connected by a light signal nor other device but do end, at the same universal time. While they were singing, all the other things that took place on the earth or not on the earth, took place during that same time period.

If you blink right now as you read this sentence, during that blink, the rest of the universe was still there. Things happened elsewhere during your blink. The two singers are both singing simultaneously. At any selected interval of elapsed time for some particular event, the rest of the universe also shares that interval.
