is also spectacular.

While we physically propel ourselves into the Cosmos at the incredible speed of [approx.] 11,200 m/s (meters-second), the required velocity for a space shuttle to escape the gravitational force of our "Planet Earth"; in the mathematical "Super-World" of "Space-Time" such speed is a snail's pace. "Space-Time" is the realm of "Light-Speed": 299,792.458 m/s, of which the space shuttles speed is only 0.004%.

But while "Space-Time" is spectacular, it's vacillating, "Tense-less" Time within non-Euclidean geometry is not the geometry and "Time" we walk through and experience.

And it never will be.
While Man's Mind peers down into realms of sub-atomic levels and again out into the Universe at the speed of light where "Time" assumes a surrealistic appearance; for us physically and psychologically, "Time" is a direct and very real experience: it is the motion of life in, around and of us here on "Planet Earth".

[i]Euclidean space n: a space in which Euclid's axioms and definitions (as of straight and parallel lines and angles of plane triangles) apply.
Euclidean geometry n: 1: geometry based on Euclid's axioms
2: the geometry of a Euclidean space
Finite adj: 1a: having a limited nature or existence
2: completely determinable in theory or in fact by counting, measurement or thought.

[ii] From Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, 10thedition
Time n: 1a: the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists
or continues: DURATION
1b: a nonspatial continuum that is measured in terms of events which succeed one another from past through present to future.
6: season (very hot for this ~ of year).
8a: a moment, hour, day, or year as indicated by a clock or calendar (what ~ is it?).
10: finite as contrasted with infinite duration.

"The concepts of space and time were separate in physical theory prior to the advent of special relativity theory, which connected the two and showed both to be dependent upon the observer's state of motion. In Einstein's theories, the ideas of absolute time and space were superseded by the notion of spacetime in special relativity, and by dynamically curved spacetime in general relativity."
