About us
Science Blog was started in August 2002. It lives, breathes and eats press releases from research organizations around the globe. Most of what you read here are press releases from the outfits named in the stories themselves. Got a news story you think belongs here? Let's talk. The other half of the equation is blog posts from readers like you. So if you have an interest in science, please register and join others like you in an ongoing, vibrant dialog about what makes the world tick.

Is that time is a built in or wrapped around dimension of the matter universe.
In the gravity experiments its been determined that gravity can bend light and time. But that bend is significantly different than the bend that is created by moving fast. Whats more, it seems to be in the opposite direction. With speed you lose time, but with elevation/gravity you gain time.
That means that if you pictures the dip in space caused by gravity, the dip in time is the opposite curve. If gravity causes a convex curve in the universe, then time is concavely curved by the same gravity, and not as drastically.
To me that is a hint that the time is external to the universe, because if it was internal or part of the universe, it would curve more drastically. The closest analogy I can think of is taking a magic marker and drawing a circle on the outside bottom of a balloon. Inflate the balloon, it goes to a certain size. The marker also expands, but not as much as the balloon. Technically the marker is still not part of the baloon, its just on the baloon. To spell it out, time is layered on the universe, but when the universe dips due to gravity, the universe dips much more than time does, but time still stretches a little along the surface of that dip.
