I am not informed well enough to answer you but can you point me in the right direction on anything that associates time being a physhical matter? How would relativity change if one looks at time as "perceived universal change'?
- andrepd 8y agoI'm not sure what I would recommend as an introduction to relativity. If you're mathematically minded and have a lot of time on your hands, and actually want to learn the physics, a superb book is "Spacetime and Geometry" by Sean Carrol. As for a layman introduction, I'm not sure what to recommend. As succinctly as I can put it, in our current understanding spacetime is a 4-dimensional space whose curvature is related to the local energy-momentum content. In turn, the motion of particles in freefall is dictated by this curvature.
- mindcrime 8y agoTwo books on relativity that I found pretty accessible and enlightening were: Spooky Action at a Distance: The Phenomenon That Reimagines Space and Time—and What It Means for Black Holes, the Big Bang, and Theories of Everything[1] - George Musser and What Is Relativity?: An Intuitive Introduction to Einstein's Ideas, and Why They Matter[2] - Jeffrey O.
