| Oct 27, 2021 at 21:04 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | Would it hurt to drop the red herring about whether Wheeler's description tells us what spacetime is doing to the internal mechanisms of matter? Clearly, on this level, it tells us nothing and I, for one, don't understand how it helps here… | |
| Oct 27, 2021 at 20:44 | comment | added | RBarryYoung | @m4r35n357 Well Minkowski and Hilbert were best friends. I heard that they used to hang out in dark saddle points waiting for lost physicists to wander by so that they could “formalize yer theories for youse”, because “we wouldn’t want anything illogical to happen…” | |

If you seek help from a mathematician, stay alert ;) To address your main point, nothing ever happens to your time in either special or general relativity. Discrepancies are only detected by an observer who is either moving wrt you, or at a different gravitation potential, or both. | |

| Oct 26, 2021 at 9:16 | comment | added | J. Manuel | Didn’t want to be picky, but for the sake of proper acknowledgment, if space and time have being melded together into a single space-time entity, that was not due to Einstein. That was done (mostly) by his former professor Hermann Minkowski. In fact, Einstein seemed to dislike that formulation of relativity at the beginning ;) | |
