Please give me a moment to convince you of my qualifications.

First of all, I'm not a surfer, but I have been surfing. Primarily I'm
a musician.

Second, let me tell you something about space and time that not many
people seem to understand these days.

Newton defined time and the space in the Principia as having both
absolute and relative natures.

Einstein fully understood and accepted both the absolute and relative
natures of space and time. He simply disagreed with Newton on whether
the subject of science was absolute or relative.

I know this and understand this not because I have read about it. But
because I have imagined it to be the only possibly scenario.

Imagine, then, my delight when I discovered later Newton and Einstein
concluded the same thing, even though most mainstream scientists today
don't acknowledge the dual natures.

Third, I think I take their understanding a little bit further, with
matter via quantum mechanics.

My understanding requires that matter, just like space and time, has
dual natures, absolute and relative.

Comparatively, I seem to have a deeper understanding of the big
picture, even if many of the details are missing.
