Its analogous to potential energy plus kinetic energy trade off of a ball on a hill. If the ball is at the top of the hill it has no kinetic energy but lots of potential energy, once the ball rolls down to the bottom and is moving fast it has no potential energy but lots of kinetic energy. Apparently time and space distance have a similar inverse relationship. While sitting still you have lots of time and no space distance, while moving really fast, like close to the speed of light, you have lots of space distance but hardly any time. Thats why time slows down when you go faster.
