The greatest gifts in life

One of the greatest gifts I got in life is my mother, so that I learn to not to become a person like her.
Another greatest gift is my husband, so that I learn that I should not live for other people's perception and for vanity.
The last greatest gift is the squirrel, so that I learn that one can be happy for so little & trivial things or nothing!
 

An idea to make time and space disappear

Imagine a fly and a moving train. Imagine that the wagon signifies the passing of time - it crosses a space at a speed and with its passing, there is passing of time. Time is light travels through space.

If the fly is outside of the train, if the moment when the trains passes it is "present", then the moment when the fly saw the train approaching would be "the past", and after the train passes it, the "future". To the fly which is in another space than the train, time exists.

If the fly is inside the train, it is "with the light", the train will not pass by it, the fly is always in the "present". So time stops because the fly is part of the traveling light. However, in this case, to the both the fly and the train, there is still the change of space. Space exists.

The fly's limitation is that it can only be at one place at a time (outside of the train or inside of the train) and it can not be the train which is the light.

However, imagine a "being" that is so vast that it encompasses all the universe, meaning that the traveling light is part of it, so is the space outside it. It is omnipresent and impermeable to everything existent. To this "being" which is all light, all space and objects, nothing exists despite all the movements and perception of time and space perceived by various objects.

Is this the "Void" in Buddhism? Or is this God in all religions? Can this theory be scientifically confirmed?
