Thank you - I will try to remember your view on 4D time-space model.

That is an important point too. Digging dipper at this time seems a bit impractical for me, because learning to reason within 4D time-space is quite time-consuming, and I am not a professional physicist, so there is no compelling reason to prioritise learning in that "4D time-space modeling" direction.
