The Space-Time Continuum and Causal Relationships
41:47 - 49:17 (07:29)
The concept that space and time are the same is a folk tale that one has to break out of to understand the relationship between the two. Our ability to understand causal relationships is limited by our position as observers within a system, as we can only observe a network of relationships between updated entities.

The concept of pure motion in the universe is a complicated one, even in the theory of gravity.

Summary
The concept of pure motion in the universe is a complicated one, even in the theory of gravity. It is like vortices in a fluid or waves in an ocean, where the identity of the thing is not defined by the actual molecules that exist in them.

A physicist discusses why space and time are the same kind of thing due to the property of causal invariance that is true of a variety of models, making it not matter if one uses a hypergraph or not.
