    I want to know why it works that way. I’m pretty sure we don’t actually know why that is a law of nature, just that it is. Some of these things I learned in physics I was frustrated that we can’t explain the why. We just kind of know this is what experiments tell us, and the math.

      If you mean the relativity part, to my understanding space and time are basically a shared dimension, so the faster something is moving in space the slower it’s moving in time. Why it’s shared, I have no clue.
