Special relativity transformed the scientific paradigm of the Universe. The physical theory of cosmological relationships of time and space, motion within it and electrodynamics, made light the most constant item, replacing time as the same absolute value all over the Universe. Time would become united with space and change in its intensity or quality in relation of motion through it. The 'world-line of an observer in one galaxy would be different from that of one someplace else-the Universe's space-time is an infinitely variable differential without coordination that is entirely a custom experience of space and time density.
Space-time warps alter the relationships between space and time in special relativity. Deceleration of time in regard to space and comparative frames of reference apparently occurs with speeding towards c while space reciprocally increases mass moving through it. We wonder what this says about the nature of space and of time regarding mass accelerating in it?
Here iuus a quote from a science fiction writer about what might account for some of the characterisitcs of relativity-"Science fiction writers (occasionally) wonder about standing waves of space and time, whereat maybe wave-particle duality entangles dimensional characteristics enabling skipping through space-time like a Teflon coated bullet through paper.
Unfortunately extra small dimensions where all these wonderful things are speculated to happen may be functions of scale that are local yet universal. Wave-particle duality when collapsed to deterministic state may become entangled through deterministic processes to. How do the structures in these small dimensions scale up to interact with 'larger' dimensions that we think of as the four of the 'natural' universe? Are they like a reverse pyramid upside down in regard to space-time enabling entanglement of selected quanta? Are the small dimensions multi-story scuppers with a universal, non-local bilge at the bottom with quantum slots higher up?"

Einstein won the Nobel prize for his work on explaining the photo-electric effect. Einstein's insight was that light has a particle nature as well as a wave nature. Modern quantum cosmologist working with string theory may explain that duality of wave-particles by the illustration of wave-particles as loops or membranes instead that may appear to be a line segment or a point particle from a particular point of view-for they would not
