Why not?

taking into consideration the directions of the ships relative to each other, we can say that each will be traveling towards the past of the other. this means that: 1. As the ships approach each other, time relative to each other will dilate 2. At the point of passing, time relative to each...

Distance is space isn't it? Only that distance is the intervening space between two or more physical entities or events. So speaking about time as a concept like space is just like speaking about time as a concept like distance. In, fact both are same.

Am I confused or are you confusing in your opening statements with regard to movement. Consider your statement, . There really can' be an existence without time. To generate time, a body must move - whether accelerating or at a constant velocity is not the issue.To exist without time is to be...

Time is the fourth dimension of existence and must be expressed by all moving systems. What would happen if relativity is not true and everything / systems in the universe stop moving. They would, probably, regress into oblivion. Matter would disappear, and space would disappear as well, then...

The usage of the term 'identical' does not go well with me.Please explain what you mean by it.

Thank you for you correction on 'average' acceleration. Concerning the other poinst I find it hard to understand how the Law of Conservation of Energy and Mass, as predicted by SR and the Lorentz transforms would operate. Please explain.

Then what is F = ma and F = mg? What I am syaing here is that such a body is generating own weight. Not mass. Otherwise, what happened to the initial acceleration(s) it required to assume a state of constant velocity. Surely, every moving thing must originally have been at rest before they...

Movement of an object does not begin with an inherent velocity. The final velocity of a moving body is the result of the average acceleration of that body. Without an initial acceleration a body will not assume its final velocity. In this respect, acceleration, not velocity, is the process by...

What we perceive as distance / length depends on our movement in space relative to other objects. In relativity we are interested in the linear translation of bodies and hence points, with respect to other points, as they move in space. Movement is the ability of bodies to contract space. A...

Time dilation and length / space contraction are two physical phenomena that must happen to all moving bodies, especially accelerating bodies. A moving body will never realize these phenomena relative to itself. It will however, realize it relative to another object or observer outside of the...

It has been an interesting journey of discussion and thoughtful discourse of time thus far. It makes me wonder, when I read through, about the concept of matter, energy, space and time. I would like to pose some of these in here, and see if they are related. As much as we have talked about time...

In the state as you describe in space, you are already in a state of free-fall. When the lab experiences an acceleration of -g, it is acclerating. If the lab is hollow, it will leave you behind traveling at a constant velocity. Otherwise, you accelerate with it in the same direction as it...

Good point. Don't you think space can also be concentrated such that there is a gradient for matter to move along? If not, then why not? If it is possible then how? Is there any mechanism available to allow matter to become aware of such changes?

To be exact, I do not agree with the usage of the word . It is reserved for chemical responses by basic life forms. Not to changes in space and time.
