If two astronomical bodies are growing further part the time it takes to travel between them is larger.

Is it time that is expanding rather than space?

In fairness, we can flip a coin
to decide whether an ant or human will be the judge.

(but u shud not drop the coin on the ant)

I believe so- if the ant was a recognized social entity or citizen.

The action or injury to the ant occurred in the U.S. (on this forum), and the ant's attorney files it in the respective venue or jurisdiction where it occurred. Since we do not recognise any laws from the ant kingdom (for obvious reasons), the ant's attorney (who himself is an ant) wishes to file it in "human" court for damages as well as in the ant court for whatever remedy etc.. If the plaintiff's attorney is an ant and the ant is licensed in the ant kingdom, the ant attorney passes it on to a human personal injury attorney. This attorney would then bring it in front of a human judge for damages, say, in the amount of $1.5 million.

Dadpad, I am very naive in such matters, but let me suggest the notion that, if time and space are connected, it may be that it is BOTH, that time is also expanding as the space between two bodies increases (i.e., the time required to traverse the space between them).

This litigation sounds in DEFAMATION; injury to the dignity.

Or the speed needed to travel in the same amount of time...

Anyhow.. time and space, speed and distance are terms that refer to the movement of matter. They are references to energies, not whatever we call the absence of them.

I was holding "speed" (like direction) constant. Very Happy

Speed and distance are mathematical measures of objects, and those measures serve to define the variety of relations between these objects. Time and space are prerequisites for the measures to be applicable. Are they the antecedents to matter and its relations- as energies?

We don't have the capability to understand this process.

I wrote thread on the topic - We are unAble2Know
