How can time be related to space?

Answer 1

The space continuum cannot exist with stability without interference from the Time continuum. All things in our portion of the multiverse, (or what most call the universe) exist on the overlap of the two continuums. Hence all things relative to us must exist on a molecular level that can be traced back to and tracked by both time and space. Without the interaction of the Time continuum the Space continuum would break us down into itself we would not be able to last long because our molecular structure is too flimsy to withstand direct exposure. If the Space continuum was withdrawn from the equation, we would have no true existence, we would instead slide in between past present and future with no hope for grounding. We would constantly be flung and hyper-extended to each of the continuums that Time interacted with and/or converged with, and each would repulse us back to our point of origin unable to contain us. We would have a better chance of survival if the Space continuum pulled out on us, because our imprint is there with Time. Time doesn't necessarily need Space but Space in our case does need Time.
It is why time travel would be impossible. By the time you've synthesized a medium to protect yourself from the massive overlap on which you exist you will have effectively displaced real Space. You will be so unstable that Time will reject you because nothing we can synthesize can be a permanent shield from the Space continuum. The force would either collapse or become unstable so that Space would interact at odd and tapered points and angles forcing Time into an unsuccessful grapple, the interactions would tears us apart. We would implode on ourselves at a quantum level and Time would seal us into a void to compensate the Space convergence.

For each Spatial deviance reaction and process Time must be present for us so that the dimensions of our existence don't have the chance to cancel anything out, effectively tearing the meld between Time and Space and creating a ripple in the entirety of the two continuums. Our energetic imprint is very low, because of how much we depend on the convergence of the two dissimilar continuums and also because of how many sub-continuums exist as a result of us. A sub-continuum is the by-product of a concentrated interaction of two or more continuums. They eventually come to govern the properties and physics of the units within the interactions. The more sub-continuums we create the harder it will be to manipulate our state of existence which is why as Time goes on we will evolve (physically) to compensate, because Space is so much unlike Time that despite the convergence, they almost counteract and repel one another.

Answer 2

There are a few reasons time is often considered a 4th dimension. One is practical. What does 3 dimensions mean? It means you need to give 3 parameters to distinguish a point. NYC streets are 2 dimensional, if we arrange to meet on the corner of Lex and 32 we both know the place. Or do we? We need to specify a 3rd parameter - Monday the 16th at 12:30 PM - to assure we meet. Thus, locating a point in 3 dimensional space can require 4 numbers.

But there are other reasons too. I have heard that one way to visualize the time dilatation effects is to picture every particle as moving at the speed of light in a 4-dimensional space-time universe. Using the Pythagorean Theorum we can get our total velocity by the square root of our velocity in each direction: x^2 + y^2 + z^2 + t^2. If we are at rest our speed in space (x^2 + y^2 + z^2) is 0, so our speed in time is c. If we accelerate so our speed in space increases the component t becomes smaller. In the limiting case of a photon, it is moving at the speed of light (x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = c^2), so its t is 0, it does not move in time. This is what you would expect since time slows as you approach the speed of light.

Answer 3

In Relativity, time is tightly related to space through the speed of light. If two people are moving relative to each other, one person's time direction is, to the other person, mostly the time direction but also a little bit of a space direction as well. In other words, one person's 4-dimensional space-time coordinate system is rotated compared to the other.

In certain circumstances, this rotation can be large. If one of the two people goes into a Black Hole, for example, that person's time direction becomes so tilted that it points to the singularity in the center. In other words, their future lies in the singularity, and they cannot escape. What was their time direction looks like a space direction to an outside observer (except, of course, they are invisible to the outside observer---such a difference in time orientation cannot be percieved).

Answer 4

Well, if one is a passenger in a plane who happens to have the same spacetime coordinates (x,y,z,t) equal to the spacetime coordinates of another plane, one will certainly know for a brief instant.

Anyhow, the relation between space and time comes from Einstein's theory of relativity. Distance gets a new definition that depends on time. Fortunately for us, all these definitions involve some movement close to the speed of light, so we can safely continue to apply the more trusted Newtonian physics to our everyday life.

We will leave spacetime conditions for separated twins, trains moving at 0.9c, particles and star trek officers.

Answer 5

In the time it takes me to git to work the road i need to take is under construction so the exact time i walk in is realative to the exact time the asshole with the stop sign decided to turn round and make less space between me and the intersecton

Answer 6

Time is time, and space is space. They have no effect on each other. Despite what you've seen in science fiction movies one second lasts one second. It doesn't matter whether you're traveling one mile per hour or the speed of light.

Answer 7

Time is simply the measure of change. It's like the word "up", for instance. Just a word invented by humans as an aide to understanding.

Answer 8

light and the distance traveled in a light year....we have even found out how to see the past with light and black holes...for more information buy a book or read all of mr. hawkings articles

Answer 9

Have you ever heard of the space,time,continuum?

Answer 10

WHAT IF:

CREATION AND EVOLUTION ARE THE SAME. THE TWENTY-FOUR HOUR DAY IS MANS EARTHLY CONCEPT OF TIME BECAUSE IT FITS THE PHYSICS OF EARTH’S ROTATION IN ORBIT AROUND THE SUN, AND THE SPINNING OF THE PLANET ON IT’S AXIS.

WHAT IF:

ONE OF GOD' S DAYS EQUALS A BILLION OR SO OF OUR YEARS? TO PUT THIS INTO PERSPECTIVE, COMPARE A SINGLE ATOM TO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM, THEN COMPARE THE AVERAGE TIME REQUIRED FOR THE ELECTRONS (PLANETS) TO ORBlT AROUND THE NUCLEUS (SUN) AND THEN THINK OF THE SIZE/TIME RELATIONSHIP COMPARING OUR SOLAR SYSTEM TO THAT ATOM. THEN COMPARE OUR TINY SOLAR SYSTEM, AS AN ATOM, TO THE IMMENSITY OF THE UNIVERSE. SURELY, UNIVERSAL TIME CANNOT BE ON THE SAME SCALE AS MANS. IF THIS CONCEPT IS TRUE, THEN SIX OF "GOD'S" DAYS COULD EQUAL BILLIONS OF YEARS OF OUR EARTH TIME. WHEN MAN INTERPRETED AND WROTE "GOD'S" WORD (BIBLE) HE HAD NO ACCURATE CONCEPT OF THE UNIVERSE OR DIFFERENT TIME SCALES. SO SIX DAYS, (MANS INTERPRETATION OF "GOD'S” WORD) TO CREATE OUR EARTH COULD BE CORRECT FORM BOTH “GOD’S” WORD (BIBLE) AND DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION.
