 One concept, which I believe in 'cause in *some* aspects of my life I'm a
 man of faith :-)....I believe in the statement that there is no
 `Universe time'

 Does this mean that there are places that are..uh..subsequent to
 our "now"...(*that's no big problem to my head-bone,hell that's
 sorta like just distance...but:)
 and there are places that are not yet now to us?
 And somehow is depends on where in or out of the light-cone you are.
 (You can see how confused I am). This pertains, I do understand, to an
 event occuring. And the before and after being so determinded.
 What I'm asking is the possibility of a "now" in which the
 event has not yet occured? You say yes and my head will explode.
