That's how I was picturing it. I underatand what we see is the light coming "straight" from the source. But if we had a camera that instead of a normal lense receives photons, sends signals put to detect photons and made an image off of that, everything would be lit up?
Because if stars are radiating light in every direction, shouldn't there be light all over? And we only see the light/photons that our eyes are receiving? Though there may be dark spots from where crests meet troughs? Or am I completely wrong and missing something?
Would be nice for people who teach this stuff to clarify that it is referred to as a something for helpful purpose it serves rather than implying it is determined.
Are there any answers to how it can curve and warp from mass such as planets, or how dark energy can make it expand if it's not a...
Yes I will have to look for that passage when I get a chance. What do most physicists tend to lean more towards as of today? Spacetime being a "thing" or not?
Just started reading a book by Brian greene and haven't gotten too far into it yet. But so far he seemed to point out that accelerated motion was relativistic to spacetime, according to Einstein. He may touch up on it more later and refute that point though, haven't gotten far enough into it.
Perfect response because the entire point of my question, or what I was looking for, is wether time and space were analogous in that regard. Just trying to get a better comprehension on this whole spacetime thing lol. Thank you for the timely response.
I don't have much knowledge on general and special relativity except what I watch on youtube and read, btw.
Edit: In addition, is traveling through a geodesic in spacetime relativistic between the object and spacetime itself? In other words, if I was traveling through a geodesic deep in space...
Tldr: relative to what are we traveling through spacetime at the speed of light. It must be relative to something not moving through space nor time, which doesn't exist. (And possibly light, not sure though because light doesn't experience traveling through time)
I understand we are talking...
