There were also several other greats who contributed to Einstein's understanding of relativity, but for some reason their input has been attributed to Einstein.

The reason light has a constant velocity is NOT because time is related to space. Time is not related to, nor does it come from space. Time is independent of space. If that is true, you have debunked the work of both Einstein and Minkowski. I am certainly not convinced that your theorem is...

I should have said if the outward expansion cannot continue progression in one direction, it must change tack and continue in the only forward option open to it. which is toward its point of origin. ( A pseudo reflection.) In any discussion about the nature of space time, we need to heed...

Time, or as I prefer to call it, temporal progression, by its very nature can only progress. If it and and its equivalent quantity of distance progresses outward from a point, it results in an instance of expanding space-time; If the expansion of that space-time is halted, it cannot simply...

Just a quick thank you... for... We might regard zero as the pivot between the negative and the positive. I hope you wont mind if I plagiarise that,

unless you totally disregard the fact that an effect always has a cause you must accept that space-time pre existed the event known as the big bang, The word singular actually refers to something which is strange, peculiar, unknown, and possibly unknowable, I can only wonder how...

I'm sincerely pleased that you're still very much alive Cat. I just wondered why you were referencing newtonian gravitation, rather than using Einsteins model.

Its all just a matter of scale, and scale is relative. Planck admitted that it was feasible for things to exist at a scale smaller than one planck length. It was simply beyond human comprehension that anything could be smaller than a planck length. However, reality doesn't have to adhere to the...

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...
