I've never seen it conveyed this way before, but, whether you consciously realize it or not, you're presenting, imo, new avenues of understanding it.

Hi RP:
Yes it is SR that I am thinking about. I would be very surprised to find that this is a new avenue of thought as I have been considering these ideas since I first read the “time space and the new relativity” When I was maybe just 20. The idea that every spatial measurement also has a time that it takes light to traverse this distance. If it takes light a period of time to traverse the distance this is also indication of lost time in accordance with SR. This is just not of much interest to people that do not function in a world that is constantly dealing with time measured in nano seconds. My work before I retired was metrology. I still have a room full of my own test equipment for my own work. I buy broken test equipment on Ebay and fix it. I learned metrology from the ground up. Started by learning to calibrate and repair commercial test equipment in the metrology lab at Honeywell CCD during the SA program 1969.
I still own counter timers that I can patch to NBS. 2, 7904 Tek storage mainframes with all plugins including spectrum analyzer and sampling units. Also 2 portables Tek 464’s plus a multitude of generators and specialty devices. I wish I had the money that these things cost when they were new. One 7904 loaded was about $50,000. I also have others still waiting to be fixed.
John.
