That's what the scientists say.
I can't help but think that this is all a bit unclear.
Well, possibly.
But I had the idea to start at the 'GR side' and with spacetime as real physical entity.
Now I took a certain form of math called 'geometric algebra' and assumed, that nature would operate somehow similar.
This means: that what we call 'space' actually depends on the (local) axis of time.
As mathematical construct I had assumed 'bi-quaternions' (aka 'complex-four-vectors').
Now I took this as axiom and tried to connect know facts to this assumption and found out, that this works.
I had also written kind of 'book' about this concept, which I called 'structured spacetime'.
The difficult part is, that it is not based upon certain assumptions, which are commonly taken for granted. The main difference is the idea, that matter is not really real, but particles are actually 'timelike stable patterns'.
See my 'book' here:

But it is possible to download that as pdf file).
As 'proof of concept' I used 'Growing Earth' (which I think is true).
