You are right, the trade off between space & time has limits.

And that limit is just another form of the “speed limit” of light.

But it is interesting that within that limit, space & time can be traded against each other.

All time delta’s can be traded to space delta’s (simultanaity), but no space delta, bring 3D can ever be fully traded for time.

Two events at different locations can never be made to appear at the same location, unless you could travel at the speed of light, which we can’t.
