Lately I've been stuck to the theory that as long as you love what you are doing, no time is ever wasted. But... What is time? Nobody can say exactly what time is or how it works. I guess it's just events passing by one by one. Now, think about this. We have a past, a present, and a future. However, because we live in the present, you can never physically be in the past or the future. The present time is infinite. Except for one exception. Our minds take just a split second to process what is happening around us. Now, doesn't that mean that we live in the past, and there is no present? I'll let you ponder on that thought while I change topics. Time isn't measured by the hour or the minute. It's measured by the movement of objects in space. Morning, Afternoon, and Night are measured by where the Earth is relative to the Sun, or the Moon relative to the Earth. Also, where the Earth is depending on it's rotation. Before the Big Bang, there was no time (or space, but that's a different matter). Time was created when celestial objects started to rotate and move, and they showed time passing. Prior to the Big Bang, there was no need for time to pass, because there was absolutely nothing in the Universe, except Dark Matter. Thus the Big Bang created time when there was finally a need for it. Now back to my first statement about wasting time. When I really think about this, there is no such thing as "wasting time." When you are sitting around doing absolutely nothing, you are not wasting time. You are wasting YOUR time. Time itself cannot be wasted because we cannot control it. Time just happens as events pass. Our time as human beings is limited, but the time of the Universe is infinite. Unless the entire Universe collapses on itself, but let's not get into that right now.

"People assume that time is a straight progression from cause to effect, but actually, from a nonlinear nonsuggestive viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly timey wimey stuff."

It's not so much that you're wasting time, but you're wasting the opportunity to do something productive or enjoyable. The term "wasting time" is just a colloquialism that makes it easier to measure the amount of wasted opportunity (ie. I wasted two hours).

... and before the big bang, the universe was a big ball of superdense unbonded particle matter, not dark matter.
