Is the universe a three-dimensional grid of space-time expanding from a size of zero along each dimension to some undetermined value that may be infinity if nothing interrupts the process of expansion? Spacetime=0 would be that singularity from which the Big Bang is said to have emerged, or...

Hi, conner. We say that someone moving away from us at near light speed appears to move slower through time than we do. In this sense we say that time has a relative speed. Furthermore, we say that a clock in orbit around the Earth moves faster than a clock on the earth, so again we are...

Now you've got ME confused, rocket123456! Oh, never mind, I was already confused when I came here. :-) I think I agree with your confusion. The uncertainty principle suggests indeterminism, yes? And the quantum formalism requires that no single outcome of a condition may be determined until...

dilsfunspot, I'm 62 and a lay reader in physics for some time, with questions like yours about relativity. I think Zubeen has a good response. The one thing I wanted to tell you, and he has said it above, is that time does not slow down as we approach light speed; that view is too simplistic...
