Introduction
About one hundred years ago, when space-time term was introduced, physicists were very close in their attempt to describe the world through one principle. It became clear, and experimentally proven, that time and space vary depending on accelerational frame of reference. In other words, moving clocks as well as clocks in more intense gravitational fields were running slower.
At the same time, speed of light was defined as the upper speed limit of the universe. It meant that nothing, either mass, particle, energy nor signal can travel faster than light.
If considering space-time variation it is more than obvious that the idea of nature’s speed limit holds only for each particular frame of reference. If greater gravitational fields slow down the flow of time and enlarge the space twice, and if speed of light as we measure it stays the same, calculating in their space-time units, those gravitational frame of references must measure speed of light as being two times slower…
The idea of light speed as the upper speed limit of the universe excludes the existence of gravitational fields which are equal to, or greater than our light speed value. It is somehow equivalent to defining the edge of the universe.
We must agree that universe is the place with gravitational fields endlessly greater and endlessly smaller than ours. So if light speed as we measure it stays the nature’s upper speed limit, light speed value for gravitational fields which space-time is for light speed amount bigger than ours, equals to one meter per second. Increasing gravitation we end up with speed of light being close to zero. The inverted principle applies for les intense gravitational fields. Decreasing gravitation increases the velocity of light towards infinite speed. So when we measure the world, we try to describe it with our speed of light , which is considered to be constant. As the gravitational difference gets greater the space-time curvature becomes bigger.
It implies that distances measured from greater towards smaller gravitational fields appear closer and distances measured from less to more intense gravitational fields appear further away. They are also closer and further away in time. Manifestation of first scenario is shift towards blue part of spectrum, and in second case received signal is shifted towards red (fig. 01).

The consequence is the unexplainable negative acceleration of Pioneers 10 and 11 spacecrafts, greater then expected advance of Mercury’s perihelion, Galaxies rotation problem, Black Hole phenomenon, expanding universe with Big Bang theory as its start, mass gap, and other “solved” and unsolved anomalies and unproved theories.
In the world of small, gravitation is considered as being too weak to hold particles in their orbital trajectories around their nucleuses. So we invented strong and weak nuclear force…
Being trapped with light speed limit dogma, field of physics become more and more complicated, incompatible, obscure and hardly understandable to people outside profession. It even become strange to physicist them self. Ptolemy’s geocentric model of the universe is a good example of how wrong presumptions and approaches with more complicated mathematics and geometry can come pretty close in describing nature and satisfy scientists for centuries. Nowadays, some branches of physics become mental alchemy inventing charming theories of multidimensional spaces which can be described only through pure mathematics but never through geometry. Like Ptolomey's epicycles it turned to be the perfect tool for covering holes in understanding experienced nature that cannot be understood or explained.
Some theories which are nowadays accepted as biggest candidates for bringing the final explanation of the universe, are so complicated that no living man on Earth can solve them. Surprisingly, the theories are considered as being good and the reason why they fail when attempting to be solved is our “primitive” mathematic.
When Copernicus heliocentric model of our Solar system was introduced, complicated planet trajectories invented by Ptolemy transformed into the simplest possible geometrical solution. They became circles (later, it was discovered that they are not perfect circles but rather elliptical which is the result of our relative observation. As stated in universal principle of orbits, relative elliptical trajectories are in fact absolute circles).
Thus, in spite of its obvious simplicity and elegance it took ages for new model to be accepted.
The word “physics” comes from Greek which means “nature”. And nature is evolution.
One of the main evolution’s principles is finding the simplest path (fig.01).
Very few people can derive and truly understand general theory of gravitation. Still, even being famous as it is, it describes world only within certain barriers. In quantum physics, in spite of its success in describing some nature's phenomenon, it is still incomplete and not fundamental enough in describing universe. In present-day quantum theory, one learns not how to answer some questions, but how to avoid asking them.
More than a century, physicists are building theories upon old ones, connecting them together, adjusting them, introduce new constants, new tools and new dimensions… And still, the simplest questions stays without answer, and the simplest goals like connecting gravitation to speed of light cannot be achieved.
Most of those theories nowadays are like computer from eighties which is every now and then supplemented with newly discovered chips.
Even if huge amount of time, work and money is invested in building them, if there is a good reason, it is not a bad idea to retire the old computer and accept a new one build from the scratch and in a day.
If we think about complexity of various theories which try to describe the world, and consider them as a ground stone of universe, one must ask what happens in their first or second branch level of building the world. Since branches are, as time and space, infinite, the only possible solution for nature is to repeat the simplest possible matrix. Matrix cannot be a new theory. Matrix is a principle.
So even if some theories are sacred, and their inventors famous and undisputable authorities in the field, even if there are millions of books printed around the world, programs filmed, Nobel prices received, lectures performed, doctorate and scientific articles written, even if huge and expensive scientific instruments based on old theories are build, if there is a good reason, there should be no place for dogma, inertia, vanity or sorrow.
The sooner it is done, the easier would be entering to a new level of height.
Since time and space never got truly connected, speed of light was considered as separated entity and stayed constant. This is why in General relativity light looses energy when closer to gravitational field. Gravitational field creates greater time and greater space…
And relation between space and time is speed.
