the relativistic anomalies between space-time invariance, gravitation and the speed of light

[Curiosity killed the cat]

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 true, but the speed of light being a constant for all observers regardless off their own velocity through space-time disproves that.
Where does the fact that the faster an observer traverses space-time the less time they will experience, fit into this seeming can of worms? I really would like to exchange notes on this topic , if anyone is interested in doing so.

Who is to say that we aren't all going the speed of light. And, in fact, we probably are going the speed of light relative to something in the universe.

If that is true, then we are violating at least one law of physics. We should be energy, right?

Are we energy?

If we are going light speed (referencing what you've stated above) we should experience zero time. Is that what is going on? Is this what zero "time" feels like?

No, we are travelling at a few miles per second relative to our sun and a few tens of miles per second only relative to stars near us. Apart from light and other EM radiation plus 'cosmic rays' which travel at or near light speed, everything else potters around at a modest speed. And, no, we are not energy, just clever bits of matter!

What about relative to the countless galaxies that may or may not exist just beyond what we can see in the observable universe?

You hit upon photo-frame stillness and it is increasingly observational as such "at a distance" (a" spooky action at a distance" -- Albert Einstein) at far and ever farther distances:
