Star Trek has chroniton particles, and it makes as much sense as anything else . . .

Time= distance/speed, right? Distance and speed both exist...

So, according to that article, the chief reason no such experiment could be devised is that time (along with space) may not be anything in itself. Both may have more to do with our own wiring and our 'size' than they do with the inherent nature of reality. Oh well I tend to accept reality in the way that is necessary for me to successfully negotiate my way around it. But it is always fun to try to peer behind the curtain.

How far apart is the past from the future ?
0 ? Or some extremely tiny interval ??

Since Einstein, no, well, depending on your relative position. I travel to the nearest star at (or close to) the speed of light. For you, the observer here on earth the round trip took 11 years or thereabouts (allowing for acceleration and deceleration) . For me, however, a few weeks have passed.

I'm not sure we even need a scientific proof of time. Since everything clearly doesn't happen at once, time exists. QED.
