>>13807137Hint: in relativity, "space" is a material medium, and "time" is defined in terms of the speed of light relative to you. This speed of light varies due to your velocity relative to the medium (special relativity), and slows down due to deformations in the medium (general relativity, gravity). Due to difficulties in finding the rest frame of the medium, i.e. the frame where the cosmic microwave background radiation is isotropic, special relativity lets you define the speed of light as constant in all directions relative to SOME specific reference frame and velocity (not you) and calculate things "as if" you were in the rest frame. This entails distorting space and slowing time.
Relativity describes physics as observed "within" the medium, just as Aristoteles thought F = mv because things you push on Earth stop due to air friction (i.e., because he described physics within air)
