what do you think?
Space, time, the theory of relativity and the 4th dimension likely all intertwine. These concepts are taken mostly to be fact except when we reach quantum mechanics and things get even more interesting. Here is a brief refresher on Einstien’s work in this area and a video discussing the concept of space and time as one continuum.
“Einstein’s Dream,” introduces string theory and shows how modern physics—composed of two theories that are ferociously incompatible—reached its schizophrenic impasse: One theory, general relativity, successfully describes big things like stars and galaxies, while another, quantum mechanics, is equally successful at explaining small things like atoms and subatomic particles.
Einstein came up empty-handed, and the conflict between general relativity and quantum mechanics has stymied all who’ve followed.
What makes things more interesting is quantum physics and the famous double slit experiment. That is the one where a photon changes direction when being observed. How do they all tie together?
Let’s find out more in this fascinating video on page 2

Everything is relative …. everything !
Jason King
Time is an illusion. Lunch time, doubly so.
Interesting thoughts…
Are energy, matter, space, and time, all manifestations of the same thing?
No. Time does not exist.
At this point they would appear to be inextricably linked. But who knows what the future will bring… If we don’t wipe ourselves out and live long enough for science to unravel the mysteries of the universe.
Likely
Wait, isn’t time the 4th dimension or are we saying “space-time” is only one dimension not length, width and depth being 1,2 and 3 dimensions and time the 4th?
Huh? Lol…. I’m lost…
It’s almost 4:20, ..so .. Time is Real .. WHAAATTT! ! ! ¡!¡¬~… 4:14 +:06=Hee hee he
Flow of information Not flow of time
The only flat aspect of space has to do with magnetic polarity, gravity is omnidirectional.
Time is in direct relation to density of matter it’s all relative.
Basically saying time is a dimension like, up &down , right & left, forward & back, future & past. Possible directions one can move that adds depth to space.
Yes, space time is , infinite , static, relative. The quantum behaves like the universe , just under a different scale of spacetime, as the universe behaves like the quantum just over a different spacetime scale. The cosmos is infinite and we are all at the center radiating outward. Maybe lol
“Space/time” is pure fiction, with no grounds in actual science, and no evidence to back up the idea. Got something negative to say? Do it with actual facts, and not speculation.
Since we can’t perceive it what does it matter?
As a wise man once said it’s all about the triangles….. Beewwu!!
I like what you are saying except at the end. I think space is infinite but it is in the form of a doughnut shaped helix.
I agree with that, I think the curve that brings it back around we perceive as the cosmic horizon. However the nature of infinity I feel would make that complete cycle just one unit of spacetime out of an infinite static cosmos . Or from our limited perception within one of these sparks, it would appear to be absolute. Maybe!
We’ll know the day someone turns on a working time machine…..you could only go back to the time the machine was created
Highly logical
Einstein has proved spacetime to be true. Many experiments have been done successfully
Name one, and the outcome that “proves” it.

The detection of gravity waves within last few months
I fail to see anything connecting gravity “waves” and so called “space time”. Space is immutable. Gravity has no effect on space, only on the stuff within it.
It proves Einstein’s general theory of relativity
Bigger the mass, the more gravity there is. Bigger objects distort spacetime more than smaller objects. Another reason light doesn’t escape black holes.
No, it doesn’t. It may add to a perception of proof, but does not in itself prove it. Space is supposed to be endless, yet they propose a curve to it.

Read the article
The size of an object has little bearing on the strength of its gravity, rather it’s mass. ” black holes” do not have to be massive, yet have an incredible force of gravity. The fact that light can’t escape a singularity is not proof of space/time, it only proves that a photon actually has mass.
Please understand that I disagree with certain hypothesis and theories, and am not attacking you or your intellect.
The bigger an object, the more mass it has so it goes hand in hand and photons are actually massless
The reason light doesnt escape black holes is not actually caused by gravity. Light seeks the shortest path and inside inside event horizon the shortest path of light doesnt leave the event horizon therefore light doesnt escape
That solar eclipse experiment i linked proved that space is warped
1. An objects volume is not indicative of its mass. A hot air balloon is huge, yet has very little density. 2. It is easy to say anything one wants to to support his or her hypothesis on an object we cannot directly observe. The link you shared was thought provoking, but there is still much to be gleaned.
It was undeniable proof and won him the Nobel prize in physics. Planets at hill so your point is invalid. Jupiter is bigger than earth thus has not gravitional pull. Earth is bigger than mercury and has more gravity. Sun is the biggest object in out solar system and contains the most gravity
These celestial objects also contain much more mass than the earth. Why are you taking my opinions and ideas personally? Size is not indicative of gravitational force. That is well established fact.
Also, the Nobel prize holds no meaning to me, check into its history. You only have to go back eight years to find fault.
His experiment was successfully done twice. You could see stars behind our sun proving light bent ars our star and einstein calculated the movement to 6 decimal places and was dead on.
What object is bigger that doesnt have more gravity?
Of course light can be bent, and even stopped and then restarted.
Proving mass objects warp space
Ok, I can’t possibly make his more simple. A white dwarf star can be the size of our own Earth. Do you think they have an equally strong gravitational pull? An equal volume of Jupiter to that of the Earth would float on our ocean. A hot air balloon has a large volume ( it takes up lots of space) yet has very low mass. Jupiter is akin to that balloon, but it’s sheer amount of matter creates its large gravitational pull. If Jupiter were a rocky planet like our Earth, yet still took up the same space, it’s gravity would be even greater.
Bending the path of a wavelength of light does not prove that space can be bent.
Than what is causing the light to bend if its not curvature?
