Time or Distance

Which one is the lie:
A) There is no such measurement as distance; there is only time between objects.

B)There is no such measurement as time; there is only distance between objects.

They both can't co-exist together. Explain your answer.

ds^2 = - dt^2 + dx^2 + dy^2 + dz^2

They both can co-exist.  It only matters if you are talking about absolutes.  Often enough it is easier to talk about absolute time in which case you assume the there is no change in position.  Occasionally you may wish to talk about both event occuring simulataneously and sometimes you may wish to use both.  It all depends on how you define the frames of reference.

Minkowski proved that 300,000,000 km = \sqrt{-1} sec (i.e. c = i ), so yeah, time and distance are the same thing.

They're both LIES (and so is the cake)
