Long before I saw it on tv and on Star Trek NG.
I think it was Einstein who came up with the theory that space and time are linked. The closer you come to light speed, the slower time passed for you. However, time will still be passing at the same rate for all other people. So you could be travelling at near-light speed and experience a few seconds, while someone who wasn't moving at light speed would experience a year, or two years.

Therefore, if you are sitting still, you are moving faster through time than if you are moving. Barely, but a little bit.

The theory of space/time says that a photon of light at the instant it is released from say, a flashlight, would instantaneously also be at the farthest corner of the universe. Weird huh? But where is it if there is no end to the universe?
