Hi, this is my first post.. It was something i was thinking about when laying in bed last night about to drift off.

since spacetime is a "plane" where by mass directly effects the curvature, and in doing so, also effects our concept of time. Let's assume that the curvature of spacetime in a downward fashion reduces our perception of time.

Is it possible, or plausible to bend spacetime up resulting in our perception of time speeding up?

or in a vacuum are we experiencing time as fast as we could, and any curvature on the spacetime plane, results in a reduced perception?

I hope this makes sense :D

I asked a question here, probably over 15 years ago on entanglement and I appreciated the thoughtful answers I received back then. The intervening years haven't made me any more knowledgeable in physics, so forgive my naïveté ! If a have a piece of paper in an area of high gravity, lets say near a black hole, and I draw a triangle on this paper and 'measure' the angles of the triangle, will they add to 180 degrees? How about if I'm looking at this paper outside of the (reasonable)...
Thread 'Relativity of simultaneity in actuality'
I’m attaching two figures from the book, Basic concepts in relativity and QT, by Resnick and Halliday. They are describing the relativity of simultaneity from a theoretical pov, which I understand. Basically, the lightning strikes at AA’ and BB’ can be deemed simultaneous either in frame S, in which case they will not be simultaneous in frame S’, and vice versa. Only in one of the frames are the two events simultaneous, but not in both, and this claim of simultaneity can be done by either of...
