OK everyone, I guess it's time to fill in the blanks; The penniless man is hard up, and the featherbed is soft down.

Next: I never was, am always to be, no one has ever seen me, or ever will. And yet I am the confidence of all to live and breathe on this terrestrial ball.
What am I??

Hmmm... the term "confidence" throws me a bit, but how 'about THE PRESENT?

There are simply no physical properties of light that cause clocks of faster moving objects to run slower. Therefore, the notion of the speed of light as a determining factor as to why this happens is irrelevant and must be reconsidered.

No sir; I also thought that term "confidence" might be a bit misleading, never-the-less it was included in the riddle. I'll give you a hint.............. When I look to the past, I see the present. I realize that hint will certainly give it away but, what the heck....................Infy

LOL... you're quick to give 'em away Infy. Hopefully I get it... I'm guessing THE FUTURE?
