Reflections on Einstein’s Relativity


In consideration of the issue of what moves around what in space, Einstein’s Relativity, I wonder about the following. Couldn’t the problem be solved by a method to detect and delineate the shape of the displaced of space fabric?

The whole theory of gravity from a relativity perspective is explained by displacement of the fabric of space. The larger the object the greater the displacement. In turn, this causes other objects to alter their course. As an object moves, it should also displace the fabric of space. So, if a large body leaves its displacement in a relatively stable area and a smaller body is constantly changing its spot of displacement relative to the large body, wouldn’t then we then say that in this scenario it was the smaller body which has moved?

I am aware of the challenges to making such discoveries. Firstly, the scientific community doesn’t even yet know what the fabric of space is, let alone how to measure it or it’s displacement (though they can now detect gravity waves, which is part of this puzzle). From a Kabbalistic perspective, I suspect that the fabric of space is an afterglow of pre-big bang energy has lingered and coarsened, so it can participate in the physical universe, as the fabric of space. This follows the pattern of the reshimu after the tzimtzum. The big bang seems to me to be the physical realm’s echo of the tzimtzum, which would make the fabric of space it’s relative reshimu.

However, regardless of the Kabbalistic possibilities, the fact remains that scientifically the fabric of space is uncharted territory that can really answer a lot of questions.


The other day, when thinking about the fabric of space, I contemplated how it exerts gravity. It occurred to me that when a large item is inserted into space, the displaced space fabric is bunched up around it - and quite possibly for a huge distance around it, though the bunching may soften up as it gets further and further away from the large body causing the displacement. So, in essence the fabric space is much more concentrated around the body causing the displacement than further out. The concentration of the fabric causes it to push harder against the body than it would in an area of space devoid of stellar or planetary bodies (if such a thing exists). It’s like a displaced piece of rubber trying to push back. This greater the displacement, the thicker (the more concentrated) the stretched rubber and the greater the push back. It’s this push back that we think of as gravity. For example, it’s what’s pushing us up against our planet.

Now if space is a fabric of sorts, it’s difficult to imagine it also as time. Time does seem like it’s stuff. I think each unit of space fabric is assigned its own time reality (for a lack of better term). A unit of space may either contain its own time reality or be contained by its own time reality. Either way, for the purpose of this essay’s focus it amounts to the same thing.

As an organic organism is made up of many cells, so too space fabric can be made up of discrete units of space, with each unit having it’s own assigned time reality. So, it’s not that’s that a unit of space fabric is time itself, rather it has a distinct time reality associated with it. For example, the human body contains millions upon millions of cells. Most cells (except for red blood cells) contain DNA. This fact, does not mean the cells are DNA. They’re discrete units of life, which also happens to contain DNA. If there happen to be a thick concentration of cells, then there will also be a thick concentration of DNA material.   

So, when concentrated space fabric is bunched up around a planet, there’s also a bunching of the time realities associated with these space fabric units. Much like a thick concentration of cells also means a thick concentration of DNA. The encounter with such a huge concentration of time causes time to slow down. This is why the bigger the planet, the slower the time. The universe is older from Jupiter’s perspective than it is from earth’s perspective. I wonder what might be the age the universe from a zero gravity perspective.

Now how does this account for going faster in space means going slower in time? When one zooms through space, one accelerates one’s encounters with units of space fabric and hence, also their associated time realities. So moving into them fast, forces an encounter with huge pools of time realities at once. Like gravity, this too slows down the experience of time; causing one to “time travel”. It’s the same idea as gravity. It’s an encounter with a huge concentration of space fabric causing an encounter with a huge concentration of time realities. Moving through more of these time realities slows time down.

I wonder about the relationship of space fabric and the material (including energy) around us. Since space is a fabric of sorts (using the word loosely), did somehow the material (including energy) around us arise from space fabric? Is space fabric a kind of proto version of the stuff which stars and planets are made of? Right now, I have no clue. These are just questions for further thought.
