my time may be a mixture of your time and your space, but it isn't a mixture of my time and my space

Time and space are related through the concept of spacetime, which was introduced by Albert Einstein in his theory of general relativity. This theory states that time and space are two components of a single four-dimensional continuum, where time is the fourth dimension.
Time dilation, which is a phenomenon predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, occurs when the time interval between two events is perceived to be different by two observers in different frames of reference. This shows that time and space are not absolute, but are dependent on the observer's frame of reference.
No, according to the theory of relativity, time and space are inseparable components of spacetime. They cannot exist independently of each other and are always intertwined.
According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, gravity is not a force between masses, but rather a curvature of spacetime caused by the presence of mass and energy. This means that gravity can bend both time and space, further demonstrating their interconnectedness.
Currently, there is no known limit to the relationship between time and space. However, theories such as string theory and loop quantum gravity suggest that at the smallest scales, the fabric of spacetime may be discrete rather than continuous, potentially changing our understanding of the relationship between time and space.
