Distorting space, possibly. A better phrase would be visual distortion.
Distorting time? Impossible.
...Distorting time? Impossible.
https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space-time
...in a relativistic universe, time cannot be separated from the three dimensions of space. This is because the observed rate at which time passes depends on an object’s velocity relative to the observer. Also, the strength of any gravitational field slows the passage of time for an object as seen by an observer outside the field.
Time distortion is not only possible, it’s necessary. Space and time are interlinked at the cosmological level, and distortion of one distorts the other. At very high speeds, time distorts significantly (passes slower). At high spatial distortions, the same thing happens, such as at the event horizon of a black hole.
Have you ever tried it?
Regards,
Time distortions are fact. Even the GPS/ Navstar constellation accounts for it.
I’ve often distorted time when my wife would ask why I was out so late.
If you claim distorting time is impossible, then please point to your peer reviewed paper proving that claim.
Time is relative. And so is distortion.
True. More precisely it would be a distortion of EM waves, of which visual 'light' is.
Distorting space, possibly.
I don't think you can distort space, as space is the absence of matter. You can't distort that which has no shape or form.
Distorting time? Impossible.
If you accept Einstein's theory, then time can be 'distorted'. Of course, it is only distorted (according to an earlier post) to the OBSERVER and not the OBSERVED. Which would mean It WAS distorted and AT THE SAME TIME was NOT DISTORTED.
Kinda like Quantum Theory. It is and it is not.
