Tell me what is the "true nature" of 'time' and of 'space', or link me to where you supposedly wrote about the true nature of time and space, and I will then ask you a series of questions, which, if you answer them openly and honestly, will themselves reveal and prove that what you say is the "true nature" of 'time' and of 'space' is actually NOT factual at all.

If you are up for this challenge, then let us proceed.

What is the "true nature" of 'time' and of 'space', from your perspective?

Time is the constant, eternal now. Every spot in the Universe experiences the same time. Nothing effects the rate of time, not gravity like the morons think - nothing. There was no beginning of time, and it will continue forever - that is the true nature of time.
The true nature of space is the absence of matter that continues forever.
Don't confuse the space you see at night with the theoretical definition that you probably learned about in Geometry class.

If and/or when you ever discover the truth about the Universe, you'll say to yourself -"damn, gater was right the whole time"

I don't deal with theoretical nonsense - I address what is true.

I do not know, what happens when a irresistible force meets an immovable object?

Is there an irresistible force and/or an immovable object?

If yes, then what is it/are they?

Is this somehow directed at me?

If yes, then tell us "gater" what is it you think or believe my view is on 'time'?

Explain to us "gater" how you are defining the word 'space' here?

Obviously there is NO infinite space absence of matter. But, when you tell us how you are defining the word 'space' here, then you will start making some sense. Look I already obvious KNOW what you are meaning, but until you express it yourself, then as you are proposing this you will not appear as though you know what you are talking about.

Besides the obvious FACT that what you are assuming here is beyond ridiculous, especially considering what I have already said and explained, just tell us what does the word 'space' mean to you.

I thought I came in obnoxious, overbearing, and arrogant, but I do this just to evoke a certain response, for something else I am doing, but you are absolutely astonishing. You actually BELIEVE that you know what the one and only Truth is all by yourself, am I correct?

Also, how do you KNOW "the true nature of things" like 'space' and like 'time'.

What I think will be discovered these things do NOT even have a true 'nature', do to the very fact of what these things actually are. (Once again I write in particulars ways to manipulate and evoke certain responses).

You are confused creation - Infinite space is just what I said it is - its a theoretical concept, obviously the night sky isn't empty, but im not talking about what you can see - im talking about what you cant see. You have to understand it with Logic.

Ah okay, so 'a theoretical concept' is infinite, to you, and to understand this is with Logic, big L, compared to logic, little l.

So, you must be right. I am the confused one.

Now that that is sorted out we are in total agreement, correct? That is; from your perspective, I am confused, and you are not, correct?

Creation - you are so confused - let me attempt to clear this up for you.
To understand space, you must separate space from matter. Now imagine empty area that continues forever - got that concept? That is what space is - nothing more that empty area that continues forever. This is an absolute fact - its true now, its always been true and it always will be true.
Nothing effects space just as nothing effects time.
Matter is another topic.

What do you think or believe that I am "so confused" about exactly?

I have understood, and thus known, what you have been talking about

I already did this 'years' ago.
gater wrote: January 17th, 2020, 3:58 pm Now imagine empty area that continues forever - got that concept?
Of course I can imagine this. But 'obviously' this does 'not' actually exist.
gater wrote: January 17th, 2020, 3:58 pmThat is what space is - nothing more that empty area that continues forever.
I have KNOWN that this is YOUR concept of 'space'. There is obviously an empty area surrounding objects and an empty area between objects, but there is also 'obviously' NO "empty area" that continues forever.

One, however, might surmise that from the very "last" objects from earth, if that could ever been known, and from a particular direction from there, then there is an "empty area of space" that continues on forever, but obviously that is just pure speculation, which may well never be able to be proven true nor falsified. This is just all conjecture and guessing.

I have been questioning you about how 'space' can, in the truest of sense, continue forever 'because' there are 'objects of matter' obviously interrupting your "continuous" aspect of "forever space"? This is 'not' a huge issue 'nor' is this a big deal. I am just highlighting the truth, as I see it.
gater wrote: January 17th, 2020, 3:58 pm This is an absolute fact - its true now, its always been true and it always will be true.
Yes the truth is; You 'say' that once you have separated space, from matter, and then you have imagined that that empty area continues forever, and that this concept, which obviously completely disregards all matter, itself, leads to the so called "absolute fact" that "space continues forever". So, the absolute fact is that this is what you 'say', but as for the fact that 'space', or an "empty area", could go on forever, is falsified by just the screen that you are looking at now. This screen is an object of matter, which has interrupted 'space', or and 'empty area', that could go on forever?

What I have done, which is obviously NOT what you do, is I look at ALL things, as they truly are, from a truly open perspective, and not just look at some things, as I want them to be, from my already held beliefs perspective.

To me, space and matter TOGETHER make up the Universe. The Universe is not bounded nor limited in size by anything. Therefore, in this sense, the Universe continues on forever. Always has and always will, in all ways, also, it might be argued. But because 'space', itself, is logically interrupted by the actual physical matter, which exists, then 'space' itself could not, in the truest sense, go on forever.
gater wrote: January 17th, 2020, 3:58 pm Nothing effects space just as nothing effects time.
Some would say that actually something does effect 'space' AND 'time'. That 'thing' just being 'matter', itself.

Does matter, by its very physical nature, effect 'space'?

And, if it was not for matter moving and/or changing, then would 'time' even then exist anyway?
gater wrote: January 17th, 2020, 3:58 pm Matter is another topic.
Is it?

What effects matter might be another topic, but 'matter', itself, has to be looked at in this topic IF you, as you have done, want to bring up and change this subject about how supposedly "nothing effects space nor time". The very reason WHY 'matter' has to be looked at now is because, from my perspective, matter does effect space and time.

Space would go on forever, if there was no matter, and, time would not have come to exist, if there was no matter.

You are close but you still don't get it - the definition of space when describing the nature of the Universe is "empty area that continues forever" - that is what space is, before you add matter. As I stated before - to understand the true nature of space, you must separate space from matter.
Time has nothing to do with space - time passes at a constant rate everywhere in the Universe, always has, always will.
Matter has been forming galaxies over and over forever.

After reading the input from this group, ive concluded that I am the only one here that fully understands the Universe. RJG and creation are both close, but both have flaws in their conclusions. Some of you are way off.
As I already stated the only path to understanding the Universe is understanding the true nature of time, space, and matter.

Everything traveling at or under the speed of light experiences I.e. witnesses the passage of time (TimeSpeed). Everything that exist beyond the speed of light does not experience time, TimeSpeed is zero. Travelling faster than the speed of light, TimeSpeed not exist. Time itself ceases to exist and mass ceases to exist.
I think you have some misconceptions about Einstein's Relativity, assuming this is what you're trying to describe.

One of the experiments that supposedly supports the Relativity Theory, was to send out a very fast plane with a clock on board, when it returned, the control clock that had been synchronized when the plane left was running ahead of the clock on the plane. Even if this was just one of Einstein's famous thought experiments, it still shows that the speed of light (SoL) was not intended to be a hard line like you envision.

The faster you travel, the slower time progresses. But at the same time, mass expands. That's why in all the SF movies when the spaceship jumps into hyper-drive you see the lone lines moving off into the distances. That's the mas elongating, as time slows down for the ship.

I didn't really read past your first few paragraphs, so that's all I have.

While in fact the ship should contract. Space contracts, time dilates.

Everything that exist beyond the speed of light does not experience time, TimeSpeed is zero. Travelling faster than the speed of light, TimeSpeed not exist. Time itself ceases to exist and mass ceases to exist.
This is the realm of Eternity. (No time, no TimeSpeed). A photon is almost timeless with almost the fastest SpaceSpeed and the slowest TimeSpeed and is therefor almost Eternal. If not killed a photon has an almost Eternal life. It will not die and will live almost forever. Photons were created at the birth of the Universe and will be all that is left at the end. Photons will be the last remnants of the Universe. Everything in between has been the life of the Universe (the place where Time has existed). From timelessness to timelessness. Eternity to Eternity.

The creation of mass ( of the Photon) speeds up TimeSpeed. The 'here and now' is where TimeSpeed is the fastest. At a certain point as mass increases TimeSpeed reaches it maximum to then slow down as it approaches a black hole). Over the event horizon TimeSpeed has returned to zero.

The speeding up of TimeSpeed and slowing down of SpaceSpeed coincides with the buildup of mass. TimeSpeed/SpaceSpeed and mass are partners in crime: The Yin/Yang of the Universe.
The 'here and now' is where TimeSpeed is the fastest (the highest concentration of Mass before it collapse into a black hole).
We are travelling on the edge of Time speeding away from where Time stands still. We are indeed Time travellers almost standing still in Space.
Photons are Spacetravellers almost standing still in Time.
The creation of the Universe is the creation of Time. The first things to be created were the slowest things to move in Time (photons).
Because TimeSpeed was almost zero and SpaceSpeed almost 100%, space was created in almost no Time at all.
Photons are at the edge of space and we are at the edge of Time. The edge of Time and the edge of Space meet in SpaceTime.
Photons are the messengers from the beginning of Time at the edge of Time. We are at the edge of Time where Time is being created. And photons are at the edge of space where space is being created. We inhabit SpaceTime. Mass creates Time and Speed creates Space.
Photons are in TimeSpace and we are in SpaceTime which is the same.

Eternity is the absence of TimeSpeed and the absence of Space. Photons are almost eternal. Their TimeSpeed is (almost) zero. Their clocks move very slowly (TimeSpeed close to 0)
Mass has the fastest TimeSpeed. Their clocks move the fastest. The creation of the Universe was the creation of TimeSpeed (Time itself). Everything comes from timelessness and pure Energy which is Eternal because it travels faster than the speed of light and ceases to exist ( TimeSpeed does not exist so Time does not exist). Pure Energy is Timelessness is Eternal. Everything is created from a timeless, spaceless pure Energy.

TimeSpeed zero is eternity. Time starts with non-zero TimeSpeed and 100% SpaceSpeed.
This 'substance' (whatever it is) can be considered pure energy. Timeless and Spaceless. A perturbation?? starts the clock ticking (TimeSpeed commences) and a less pure form of energy is created (non-zero mass). This non-zero mass travels faster than the speed of light to create the Universe (Inflation). During this inflation period, energy is occupying a larger and larger space causing the dilution of energy thereby increasing the mass of the non-zero mass until the first photons are formed.

The 'here and now' is where TimeSpeed is relative to the effects mass. As mass increases to a certain maximum until it collapses on itself into infinite mass. TimeSpeed increases to a certain maximum and then as it approaches and goes over the event horizon collapses into zero. Infinite mass meets zero TimeSpeed (time stops). This singularity is timeless/eternal until ripped apart by the expansion of the Universe.

Gravity is the effects of TimeSpeed on Mass. What mass is experiencing is the slowing down of TimeSpeed. As a photon approaches mass it is effected by the Timespeed curvature created by mass. Mass has a much faster TimeSpeed, but a much slower SpaceSpeed than a Photon. As the photon approaches the mass the side closest to the mass slows down more that the opposing side, making the photon bend it's path towards the mass. We see this as the bending of the light. And we experience this as the pull of gravity. It is in fact the differential TimeSpeeds we are experiencing. There is no pull of Gravity. Just a slowing down of TimeSpeed and an acceleration of SpaceSpeed towards the the center of the mass. As SpaceSpeed increases TimeSpeed slows down.
What caused the creation mass that created Time and Space? What was the perturbation?
Nice thoughts. Near the central singularity, time fluctuated, like the virtual fields did. The clock on photons doesn't tic-tac. They constitute the same instantaneous interaction as photons in a Newtonian spacetime would do. There is no cause and effect though, in such a universe, and neither can mass exist. A finite SOL guarantees mass and cause and effect, i.e. entropic time.
