@mokazemi Interestingly, measuring intervals in works something like this in the special theory of relativity, where the "proper time" between two events separated in space by dx and in time by dt is dT^2 = dt^2 - (dx/c)^2. When dx=c*dt, dT=0.

Physically dT represents the time experienced by someone traveling between the two events at a constant velocity (when it's not negative). When the velocity approaches the speed of light, time dilation makes the elapsed proper time approach zero.

Oh, interesting. I didn't know that could be related!
I'm gonna have a look at it.
