What is distance?

Asked by flutherother (34516points) March 27th, 2011

Time is the difficult dimension to understand, space we understand intuitively. Or do we? What is meant by distance? Is it just a way of describing a relationship between objects. To what degree is space just a construction of our minds?

What brought this question to mind was quantum entanglement and non locality Particles can be linked and behave as one even when separated by immense distances. How can this be?
