Answer: Time and space depend on reference frames, but the speed of light does not.

Explanation: According to Einstein Space and Time are directly related as the way we sense them, in his words space and time is like a fabric in which we cannot affect one without affecting the other as we interact with it, time can be stretched and squeezed depending on your inertial frame of reference (constant speed and mass). However light can travel thru the fabric of space and time and it does not get affected by any reference keeping always the same speed.
