You say that moving through time slows down your movement in space. When vewing a cuboid such as you are describing, everything is stationary and there is no speed, only distance.

I meant movement through space slows down movement through time didn't I?
Thanks.

Great article. Well done!
Don't suppose you could tell me what distance one light photon can travel in one unit of Planck Time could you? It would be useful to know this for a discussion I'm having in the h2g2 SEx forum about the speed of light.

Well, I don't know off-hand! But it shouldn't be too difficult to compute:
Planck time = 5.391*10^-44 s
Speed of light = 2.998*10^8 m/s
5.391*10^-44 * 2.998*10^8 = 1.616 * 10^-35 metres, which is roughly the same as the Planck length.

I don't know how you do it but it's almost like poetry.
Great stuff. Thanks!
