I like the 1898 science fiction novel as much as anyone else where they
combine space and time for the 'Time Machine' -

" 'Scientific people,' proceeded the Time Traveller, after the
pause required for the proper assimilation of this, 'know very well
that Time is only a kind of Space."

But I sure as hell would not want to spend a billion dollars trying to
prove if that science fiction novel was right -

" Question 42 ; What does the word 'spacetime' mean?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It means that in our universe, 3-dimensional space and time form a
single indivisible new physical object which has 4 dimensions. All
physical laws and phenomena seem to require thinking about space and
time as this blended object. That's what Einstein's relativity theories
were all about. "

If you can tell the difference between the science fiction novel and
the Nasa/Stanford version then you are a better man than I am. Maybe
the U.S. gov will give you a billion dollars to prove that the science
fiction novel 'Journey to the center of the Earth' should be proven as
a fact !!.

The biggest problem I see is that for all observers to mathematically
measure lightspeed to all observers relativity needs a silly little trick
math
called a transform and a transform is simply a trick that limits the
outcome of the math.

Why these "smart mathematics people" can not see the self limiting
tricks of things like velocity addition is beyond me.
I can see it and I am not the greatest in math I admit.
Lets have fun with c=1 using the velocity addition "transform".
w = (u + v)/(1 + uv/c^2)
and I use..
u = c and v = c
and c = 1
you end up with
w = (1 + 1)/(1+ 1/1)
then
w = 2/{1 + 1)
w = 2/2
w=1
self limiting bull*** is all it is.
and yet the smartest people are "fooled" by it.
