Either the observation is wrong or something is happening apart from our concepts of time and space. I think both things are possible but I have no idea which it is here. In any case speed is an irrelevant concept to this hypothesis. Instantaneous or simultaneous are just other ways of saying ‘now.’

We think alike on these issues, TigersEye. I tend to favor the hypothesis that our concepts of time and space as presently constituted are inadequate. But it could be a measurement problem. I hope we'll find out which it is before too long!

And I so agree that "instantaneous or simultaneous are just other ways of saying 'now.'"

Thank you so much for further detailing your analysis!

I very strongly agree, dearest sister in Christ! I suspect the answer will be found in higher dimensional dynamics (Wesson et al.)

As for my own case; I couldn't agree more strongly! lol

I have been told by a friend, who I trust very much on such matters, that time is an illusion. But it is also said that all of this world's experiences are an illusion so I guess time would naturally be a part of that stew pot.

I get a tickle in my gut now and then that tells me it is true and I feel like I'm about to understand it. Then my intellect comes thundering back in and firmly reattaches itself to the "certainty" that all of this is quite real. I suspect that my understanding will remain inadequate for a while. :)
