The thing is, your speed through space is orthogonal to your speed through light, right? They're in 90 degrees to each other's. So movement through one is a
affected by movement through the other. So your speed through space squared plus your speed through time squared is equal to the speed of light squared, just like a squared plus b squared equals C squared. And so what does that mean? How do you define time? What what is time?
When did it begin? Did it begin with the Big Bang? Is it even meaningful to ask that question? Well one of the things I talk about, and you know, here I I diverge from orthodoxy. I say yes, there clearly is a time before time.
