Yes, I know that speculations must in the end have some usefulness in order to become science, and I certainly lack all of the tools necessary to even begin mathematical proofs. Yet I am interested in finding out more about what physicists have had to say about space creation and if any...

Thank you. I think I'm beginning to understand.

In regards to the clock diagram, isn't that an example of how a body in motion affects time? I still don't understand what impelled the body in the first place, and I'm not quite sure that diagram explains it. When I have read about one body's "attraction" to another due to warped space, the...

One other thought I have about the curvature of space is that perhaps space is only curved by mass when it is in motion, and that mass at absolute rest would not curve space. And that the curvature of space due to mass in motion has to do with the creation of space due to mass in motion. And...

I guess one of the directions I was heading with my thought problem had to do with mass in motion creating space. You are right that in the universe as it exists all mass is in motion, and I think it is generally assumed that if the universe's mass were to come to absolute rest, then the...

I think I should try to explain a little better what I am thinking about when I talk about a positive universe and a negative universe. We know that the positive universe in which we exist is expanding. That would mean that a negative universe would be contracting. If, as was suggested, the...

I think I generally understand the concept of gravitons and why string theorists are trying to come up with a unifying theory, but somehow I have missed the answer to the question of how movement through space occurs with Einstein's theory. I understand that both the "attached" clock and the...

Both of the examples I was referred to, of an object in "free fall" moving straight ahead in the explanation of time warpage and the curvature of light caused by a warpage in space, assume that the mass is in motion and of course light by definition is in motion. I have not read of an example...

In regards to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, I have a few questions. First, I can understand how bodies in motion can be attracted to one another by following the curvature in space created by mass. However, if I construct a thought problem in which the universe consists of ony two...

If matter, energy, space and time are all of the same cloth, so to speak, all related, then wouldn't they all be expressions of one another? In other words, shouldn't there be some formula like E=MC squared, including all of these elements? Some combination of energy, matter and time should...

All the theories of the universe’s origins that I have read discuss expanding matter and energy. As far as I know, it is assumed that this expansion created space. I have also read that the universe is continuing to expand, however, at a much less energetic pace. I am wondering if anyone has...
