I'm not sure that I know the correct answer, but certainly, if time
ceases to exist "relative to an observer", then 4D spacetime can no
longer be 4D. Again, the reason time ceases to exist is because time
becomes unmeasurable & unobservable if you try to construct a clock out
of the whole universe. Large scale motion is nearly zero relative to
man, and so your clock just does'nt tick.

[on the quantum scale] -> Time, the 4th dimension, ceases to exist
somehow (relative to observer), so you must be left with a 3D "point".

How fast is information trasmitted across such a point ? Must be
instantaneous. So, information "appears" to travel faster than light in
the classic QM experiments.

It might be interesting to see how far this could go - even if it's
wrong. Yet, when I think about trying to build a clock out of the whole
universe it seems quite impossible, and so the argument becomes
somewhat reasonable.

I have been trying to understand continuity for years, and wind up with
something worse, how to construct a smooth transition from 4d to 3d
mathematically. Maybe algebraic topology ?
Any ideas on how to do such a thing ? I'm stumped.
