Is time relative to space, or space to time?!

Time and space are two fundamental concepts in the field of physics. According to Einstein's theory of relativity, time and space are not separate entities, but are interconnected and form a four-dimensional space-time continuum.
Yes, according to the theory of relativity, time is relative to an observer's frame of reference. This means that the passage of time can appear different to two observers who are moving at different speeds or in different gravitational fields.
Yes, space can be curved according to the theory of relativity. This is known as the curvature of space-time and is caused by the presence of matter and energy. The amount of curvature depends on the mass and energy density of the objects in that space.
Gravity is a result of the curvature of space-time caused by massive objects. This means that the presence of gravity can affect the passage of time and the shape of space. Time moves slower in stronger gravitational fields, and space can be distorted by the gravitational pull of massive objects.
While there are theories and concepts about time travel, there is currently no scientific evidence to suggest that it is possible. However, space travel is possible and has been achieved through advancements in technology and space exploration efforts.
