Ah so, a fine answer--except to our space-time quantum friends who
define an event as a point at a certain place at a certain time relevant to
an observer. Intervals need not apply.

Personally, I go with Saint Augustine on the riddle of time. He said,
"When I do not ask the question, I know the answer."
