I don't believe in space time.

That's not quite the conclusion of it so you're already off base.



I'll be honest, I think one of the most exhausting things going around lately is people who don't know about shit loudly proclaiming things about things they don't understand, while demanding everyone around them know everything to beyond a PhD level to explain it to them.



This doesn't align with what you've been saying. It is provable and predictable.

I think what you meant here, because I don't think you actually know that much about speed running, is that the speed runner needs to know how something works, when in reality that isn't the case at all. Most speed runners don't actually know how what they're doing works, they do it because it's predictable and works, which is also why we use theories like gravity and relativity. And its ok if you don't understand how spacetime works, the practical part is really the only important part. You'll never be the size of an atomic particle and you'll never travel near the speed of light.

To my understanding, we think it happens based on gravity and speed because when we take things and shoot them at very high speeds we observe that they experienced time differently. And when we put things closer to a large source of gravity and further away they experience time differently. And then we come up with equations that model that behavior. And then we tested whether those equations held up by trying other things in different ways with an expected outcome and the actual matched the expected.

And that's it. This isn't that complicated. Wrapping your head around space time is complicated, I can get behind that, shit sounds like magic. But the science is pretty simple: we tried things a bunch of times and it keeps happening the same way and so far no one can find a thing that doesn't align with this.

Except even with this, we have, apparently the math breaks down in quantum physics where things are really tiny. Isn't that cool?

That's the beauty of science, there are no absolute truths, it's just the best we can do.

It's just modernist dogma transmitted as the gospel truth by government schools.
