and is it true that Einstein's theory of general relativity shows that time, space, and matter are co-relative? one cannot exist without the other?

  1. No, motion is change in location over time. Without time there is no change in location, and so no motion.

    Further, since space cannot exist without time, without time there is no space, and nothing for matter to exist in, therefore there is no position either.


  2. Yes, all that motion requires is space, man created time in order to be able to calculate speed and distance of motion.  

  3. Well, to me, the reason people have such a hard time defining time, is because there is no such thing as time the way people try to think of it. Time is an illusion. Time doesn't flow and move; matter flows and moves. If there was no motion of matter there would be no time. Time, clocks and calendars are just index marks that keep step with the motion of matter. "Time" began when matter and energy began and was set in motion. Sorry to say this, but matter is but an illusion too. Matter is just concentrated energy. There has been a lot of new discoveries in the realm of science and theology in recent years that have changed the old concepts of classical physics. Beyond e=mc2, beyond Darwin, beyond classical physics, etc. This new frontier is called "Quantum Physics". My specific answer to the first above question is "no" because the motion of matter in space (successive arrangements and re-arrangements of matter) is time. And, yes, I believe that time, space and matter cannot exist without the other. Clear as mud, huh? lol.
