Can you help me unpack the distinction between an event in space-time vs merely a configuration in space?

- ggm 3y agoGrowth is driven by hormone flow in cells and organs. It doesn't have to distribute equally. And, it's intensity and duration affects rate and extent of growth. Cells have primitive clocks. (Rhythms) - so there is a cyclical, flow, time and distance function. Plus gravity. Some hormones inhibit growth. Some encourage. Some intensify expression under light, some inhibit. Some head down. Some head up. Rapid growth vs slow growth. Directional growth vs directionless. Stages of growth are different, time has consequences. If you only consider space you ignore the consequences of time. Think about abcission cells, how plants shed leaves, fruit, how horns can fall off. (This is from memory of 40 year old biology lessons at uni)
- pyinstallwoes 3y agoHow could you have time without space? They're kind of equivalent in my conceptual model. I think of both time and space as a sine wave. The way you expressed it actually matches that for me. Thanks for sharing!
