SPACETIME and mythopoetics

Today, I've been reading about theories of relativity and the concept of spacetime and something hit me.

I don't want to spend too much time explaining what light cones are, but if we think about the principal that every 'event' (a body as it exists in a point in space AND time) has a set of light rays that lead up to it and emanate from it in spacetime, we begin to sense that there is a play between mass in space and time and the forces they exert on space and time itself. Or, as Stephen Hawking puts it:

Space and time are now dynamic quantities: when a body moves, or a force acts, it affects the curvature of space and time – and in turn the structure of space-time affects the way in which bodies move and forces act. Space and time not only affect but also are affected by everything that happens in the universe.

To say that there are past light cones that affect the positions of events and to imagine that millions of lightcones overlap all the time in spacetime is to say that events are influenced by many other past events and will influence many other future events. Now, is it just me, or does this sound a bit like the concept of karma?!
