Yes I understand I think, but I think also it cant just be space the pendulum the moves through, it must be space-time as space without time would allow for no movement and gives us just fixed dimensions of volume, and if we add a second pendulum but moving at the speed of light away from the other then not only do we change the space between each we also change the position of each object in the general flow of space time , but even each object still experiences travel through time at the speed of light (60secs a minute etc) .
A simpler way to explain it is if both pendulums have a finite lifecycle of 10 day's no matter what and we attached timers to them again anything we do in the general flow of space-time relative to each other will matter not both will fail after 10 days of life relative to them self’s, and the hope of extra time or a longer life for the fast traveller because it seems to have lasted longer is just an illusion of observation.
This is my problem with time …I am told it is space-time and it is only relative to me but in the same statement it tries to say it is also a force which is general through out the universe and can be manipulated between 2 objects, yet oddly the actual speed I travel through time is constant and unchanging and this is not just relative to me it applies to everything even photons which will eventually evaporate we all are allotted a span of time separate form general space-time does this then not imply it is a separate force altogether this is what I am trying to get at
