It is the scale of space which is growing, any objects with mass that are embedded within that space remain static but the invariance of distance and time within the space-time continuum means that they too separate proportionately... Its not difficult to understand !!!

Distance and time are invariant, that is why the speed of light is a constant.

Which came first , the chicken or the egg ? Distance and time are two seemingly separate, intangible, phenomena. They are aso both separations and the two components of motion. However, because time seems to be progression, and that progression is of distance, I have to back time as the...

Close.... but incomplete and in reverse order. The two things are actually space and time , the components of the continuum known as the space-time continuum. (Which should actually be known as the distance-time continuum.) it is the invariance of these phenomena which make the speed of...

Space and time are non physical relativistic phenomena, and their relativistic effect on our everyday material reality is quite negligible. but If you could traverse a space time separation at the speed of light the effect would be dramatic . At the speed of light it is only distance which is...

our galaxy should certainly be receding from extremely distant galaxies in the "reality" of a possible observer located within an extremely distant galaxy, However it is unlikely that any possible observer would actually be able to observe our galaxy under such a circumstance. It seems to me...

Moving on to the words of Einstein, who said... Space and time can no longer be independent. Rather, they are "converted" into each other in such a way as to keep the speed of light constant for all observers. I would say... Distance and time can no longer be independent Rather, they can be...

OOpsdidnt mean to post yet i will have to begin a new instalment

This plethora of misconceptions would never have arisen if Einstein and Minkowski had worded their statements about space-time better, because although they certainly understood relativity, they likely over estimated the capacity of the average person, to understand their vague and incomplete...

If black holes exist , then space-time can be compressed ! If the metric expansion of our universe is really happening then space -time can be stretched ! If the above statements are true, then space-time separations are actually variables, meaning that space time invariance shouldn't be...

A picture paints a thousand words, so its said. Even if that picture exists only in your imagination. On a microscope slide, draw a line of any length, which you can then observe... Consider that line to be a scale representation of a light second, with its length simultaneously...

I have actually been pursuing a similar train of thought for quite some time, Gibsense . As you doubtless know, there exists an equivalence between these two seemingly separate phenomena, which we perceive as space and time... Or...

Giving up on time, would entail giving up on space too;- as one can't exist without the other. No time, equals no vast universe. So... nothing to talk about.

Does no-one understand the words of Einstein, and Minkowski ? there is no time alone, or space alone. their union is called space -time, IOW they form a single phenomenon, which due to the nature of relativity preserves each observers independent reality, and makes the speed of light a...
