Fabric of Space-Time

A Single Fabric

Time contains,

  All events,

  

Space contains

  All objects.

Time is space,

  Space is time,

One fabric,

  A continuum.

When containers,

  Are one, identical,

Could the contents,

  Be identical too?

Can planets n’ stars,

  Be events imprinted on space,

N’ can history,

  Be objects imprinted in time’?

--------Q--------

There’s a long tradition of relating the passage of time to the movements of the heavenly bodies; planets, stars and constellations. Sometimes I have heard people go as far as to ascribe time itself to the movement of the heavenly bodies. On the face of it, it seems like they’re confusing the measuring devices of time with the experience of time. Why should the heavenly bodies be considered as anything more than just a giant natural clock / calendar? Just as humans experienced time before the invention of mechanized clocks and written calendars, so it’s expected that they should be able to experience of the passage of time without recourse to the heavenly bodies as well. Essentially, when it comes to the human experience of time what difference does it make whether or not measuring devices are referenced?

I tend to agree that on the surface it seems like people with such beliefs are confusing the experience of time with its measurements. However, I honestly wonder whether some other dynamic is occurring here as well; namely, a psycho-spiritual one. Perhaps they are responding to a subconscious intuition that, as absurd as it seems, it’s somehow true that the two are related. Albert Einstein taught that time and space is a single indistinguishable unit, a continuum, which he called, “space-time”.

The result is that what happens in space has to have a parallel in time and vice versa. It’s as simple as the mathematical principle that what happens on one side of the equation needs to also occur on the other side of the equation. Let’s say for instance that A = QR.  If we add 2 to A, then 2 also needs to be added to QR.

In light of this, about five or six years ago, I realized that the shape and size of the universe must somehow be profoundly linked to our experience of time and vice versa. If space were differently shaped or sized then somehow our experience of time would also be different. Presently, I don’t know “how”?  However, just based on the equation it somehow has to be.

Similarly, just recently it dawned on me that, large bodies in space need to have their parallel in time. This is especially so considering that they significantly displace and curve the fabric of space-time around themselves and they move on coordinated paths in relation to each other, setting off a series of gravitational waves. They and their movements must be the parallel of events manifest in time; except as manifest in space. Perhaps this idea does not exactly prove astrology. However, it certainly supports astrology by offering an underlying basis for why it would be reasonable for what occurs in space to have parallels in time.  The ancients may have understood how placement and movement in space aligns with events in time; as they’re identical realities. Even if their match up efforts may have led to some imperfect or inaccurate results, they were thinking along the right track.

On a different but related note, it seems to me that science assumes that the fabric of space-time is uniform throughout the universe. Why should continuity be confused with uniformity? Perhaps, the fabric is denser in certain regions and thinner in others. If we hadn’t known better, we might have assumed that the ocean is a uniform mass, just because on the surface it appears to be solidly continuous. However, careful examination will likely yield that ocean water varies from region to region.

Interestingly, the ancients divided the universe into concentric zones. Perhaps, there’s some truth to that idea or at least, to something like it.

I think it is wise for science to develop a discipline devoted to the study of the very fabric of space-time. It might tell us at least as much about our universe as the advanced telescopes do.
