minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·3 months agoTo clarify, energy isn’t a “thing” that exists. It’s a property of matter, and so is mass. So spacetime are only related in that matter exists in spacetime, and can influence it in ways we don’t (or at least I don’t,) really understand.
