Does space time affect movement?
Does space time affect our movement? I don't understand this, if you take a black hole spacetime in it has stopped moving, but the black keeps spinning. Am I missing something? I've seen tho that time is suppose to affect how something moves. I'm just confused.

I think I may have been confused as to what space time meant, or i'm just tired as hell and can not grasp what you guys are saying.

2 RepliesTime dilates relative to speed. As you get closer to the speed of light, time will slow down to accommodate that acceleration. Time is the enforcer of the cosmic speed limit. Time will not let you pass beyond the speed of light. Read about the twin experiment. Basically the one twin you put into orbit for 7 years will be younger than the twin that stayed on the ground.

Space-Time is our current model for.. well.. space. It is non-Euclidean, in that it curves. Gravity (such as in your black hole example, or for another body such as a planet) is the bending of space-time. As such, you're asking if gravity affects our movement (which it clearly does), not space-time. Asking the question "does space-time affect our movement" is analogous to asking "does the ruler affect the length?" The most honest answer to that question is "we better hope not." The [I]shape[/I] of space-time can affect [I]apparent[/I] motion though. For instance, in our current model, photons (light) do not undergo gravitational interactions. Yet, light "lenses" around planets implying that the photons are in fact being pulled on. The actual explanation is that gravity is bending the space that the photons move through, thus making their path appear curved to us, when in actuality the photon is still traveling in a straight line [I]through space.[/I]

2 RepliesNo, and you're an idiot if you honestly think it does.

I don't think so....
