And how are space and time linked? Why is the speed of light so special, and what set that speed limit?
And most importantly, how can we ever know if a posited answer is correct if we are always observing through some sort of "lens" be it figurative or literal?

The observer and the observed are the same thing.
Thats mans wrong turn, yet he cant see it.
That lens is the self, all past memory.
As long as man remains cought in that non fact, he can never see beyond that lens.
He (I) is that limiting factor.
I am the lens, and the lens is me.
We are not a seperate entity from memory (the lens).
Time is a product of this division between me and my memory.
As a non fact by its own make up.
Time is also false in its relationship with space.
As D said, man made.
Clock time is our own handy measurement.
So, in short the lens is literal in that it has an effect/consequence.
a bad one.
