Not much time to explain Lloyd, but I almost forgot about one of the aspects I was considering. Which was the conservation of momentum through space and time. Simply put, absolute distance and time perhaps allows us to study every system as being an extension thereof and throughout, whereby allowing the block universe type absolute observer position of treating every system as a conservation of mass and velocity thus momentum whereby the temporal extension of a massive body vs that of a high velocity less massive system would have absolute distances as adjusted by way of the relativistic factors, whereby we could acknowledge how a propagating electron through it's high velocity orbital motion is equivalent to the nucleus when plotted as an absolute extended system. I feel that we are often looking at the same system expressing itself differently through distance and time. The c conservation aspects we discuss often imply this if we really think about it. We merely need to consider the implications of the ability for this perspective to allow understanding of the equivalency of systems in some form or fashion. I'm working on a good example of what I mean and will post later.
