Question is: IS time straighforward?






The theory of relativity claims that time and space are basically the same stuff

Everybody knows that two events , A and B, can happen at the same time for an observer but at different times for an other one
Most people suppose that this is evident just in case the relative speed is close to the speed of the light
Actually the two observers could experience the same situation, in theory of course, even though their relative speed is quite low provide their distance is huge

In other words , there is a perfect simmetry : Space-Time

Consequently the Space_Time is , so to speak : Frozen

This is the theory:
Easy to say , impossible to grasp
