On Spacetime

Weird that the word ‘time’ is used arbitrarily when referring to both ‘eternity’ and a ‘duration’ in relativity, with no real distinction 

Both space and time are scalar; they have no direction, only magnitude. I’m not clever enough to understand how two scalar concepts can bend and warp.

In my mind a second is unsubstantial and intangible. I can’t pick up a gram of space and put it in a cubby or grab 30 seconds and put them in my pocket.. so how can I twist, bend, and warp them like a towel or some gia sweats
