Eli5: Does itself time move, or do we move through the time dimension?
In: 0
Both, and neither. Time is a dimension, as in the fourth dimension. Time is like space, expanding since the Big Bang.
We see in 3d, 3 dimensions, there are the x,y,z axis and the fourth dimension is time.
But time is relative, meaning that its beaviour is related to where you calculate it. If you monitor time near the sun, or a black hole, you will see that time is going slower than any other place in space, because of the huge mass of the object.
Earth itself slows time as any object does, but the biggest do the most noticeable effect.
It is also related to light/speed, as if you are in space going at the speed of light, you will age slower than someone here on earth going at 700km/h, you would actualy move in time (forward, as for now there are no functionning theories as how to go backward)
So to be short, it doesn’t move, it expands.
And we don’t move in it but rather with it, as it is not a thing, but a concept like space, length, width and height …
