Some time ago I tried to describe to way I see how TIME and physical SPACE [making for what we considre to be "our reality"] was affected by a trully curious changing elliptical and spinning structure "moving" from point to point in 3D universe.
Here is the address:

It wasn't too popular back then and I don't hope it will become as such today either, but it could give you some perspectives to see why SPIN connects with our REALITY in the big picture.
WHAT'S IN COMMON BETWEEN THE PATTERN WE ENCOUNTER IN THE COSMOS AND THE ONE INSIDE THE STRUCTURE OF THE ATOM?
The shape. Elliptical in 3dimensions and in a constant rotational motion around a [ALSO MOVING] point.
As you may recall, it was the "relativistic" approach to the atomic structure what was missing in the first methematical steps into the secrets of quantum mechanics.
It wasn't enough to announce the laws that rule and defined the "number of quasi-particles or electrons" in response to an alleged wave function showed by small "particles", but it was also very important to calculate why the inconsistence with respect to their actual spin while studying it from the scatterings.
Could you finally understand why it is so dangerously contradicting the idea of ignoring the existence of a different eather at those deep levels inside the atom?
How could we state that there is one and only one eather that looks the same across the universe while blaming SPACE and even TIME for a bunch of inconsistent results?
The reason [in historical terms] is easier than you think. Albert Einstein wrote his special theory of relativity and later on the general theory a long time before quantum mechanics had rooted into the minds of the greatest mayority of physicists. Since mathematics is the language scientists use to corroborate their findings and hypothesis, it was necessary to re-normalize our equations with what was actually happening in our experiments. In the particular case of Einstein [a genius non-the-less] most of the theory's basic fundaments were "discovered" out of his mind in images he kept from the very childhood of his.
As time went on, in great part thanks to his [mathematical] explanation of the so-called "photo-electric effect" quantum mechanics started to dominate every branch of science, except for "stamp collections" as Ernest Rutherford joked once.
But he [Einstein] never took very seriously the very fundaments of the notion of quantum mechanics. The general theory of relativity hasn't changed since those very early days when he proposed it to the scientific community either.
So! How could a theory proposed by a man that did everything in his power to "ignore" the existence of a contradicting theory [quantum mechanics] based in personal beliefs and other considerations of the sor, could be somehow "connected" I'd say "pluged-into" the rest of the other theories explaining the small world?
I bet you still remember the famous quote" "God never play dice with the universe." That was Einstein's deepest concern!
We have accepted the STATUS QUO! General Relativity WORKS for the macro-world [the big] and quantum mechanics for the MICRO-WORLD [the small]... and every body should be... HAPPY!
String theory which stands for a mathematical attempt to renormalize both theories including the existence of more than 3 dimension in their equations tending to solve the dilemma was a final and desperate mission of rescue...!
Is it easy to visualize how everything is inter-connected in one comprehensive picture?
Of course not! There are many variables involved, but I'm sure we could explain our REALITY using nothing but mathematics and also that the math to-be-use to that effect must be created in support of a physical understanding [very different to the ones tought in schools and universoties today] of the mechanics of the universe as a whole.

I cut a short piece of the article I mentioned to you above:
As the satellite clock concluded its first tick, the picture “seen” (according to special relativity) was something looking more like an incline than a straight vertical line [as the one happening on Earth’s clock]. That was the argument used to “demonstrate” theoretically that time suffers a sort of dilation or contraction in one inertial frame respect to the other. (BUT) If instead of considering a fix clock in the surface we hypothetically build a clock located at the very core of the planet the situation would be entirely different. Then, no matter the position of the satellite our new clock would always rotate having a perfect straight alignment with any clock on space. Both pulses will be oriented in 0 degree at all times leaving the distance from the center of the Earth to the satellite’s position a simpler alternative to calculate the equivalence. The altitude of the satellite from the surface would be referred to the point in the center of the planet. It will be a point whose location will always be equidistant from any other point within the same radius [orbit around the globe]. It would be possible to build a planetarium system of time coordinates that could supply scientists with a universal clock capable of simultaneous coordination between inertial frames of observation. Every clock in every observation post must have to be in sync with the central one even if its existence could be a hypothetical one the plan would work. The fact that we can’t visit the center of the Earth it doesn’t mean that we don’t know where it is! It’s just a matter of measuring the time that will have to be CHANGED. Air towers around the world and its computers would have to be synchronized into a new set of time coordinates originating at the center of the Earth and every single flight around the world would have to be time-related to the same point.
Take a short glimps to what I wrote some time ago. If a hypothetical OBSERVER were located at the very center of the planet [Earth] he or she would definitely looking a "tick-tack" of Einstein's "laser clock" working in sync!!!
Remember what I was talking about a satellite that will never fall into a lower orbit and eventually returning to our atmosphere?
Well! If we were able to MATCH the speed of an artificial satellite spinning in its elliptical [natural] orbit in a way that a hypothetical observer could see in perfect sinchronism the "ticking" in both "laser clocks" that satellite willnever fall into the lower atmosphere!!!
It means that we had found the exact angular speed for any orbiting object to avoid the eather-generated attraction to the center of the Earth.
Think about it!
