What Did Einstein Mean when He Said Space is Curved?

RE: What Did Einstein Mean when He Said Space is Curved?
another weirdness:

as we look out further and further, we infer enormous distances from here to the objects we are looking at, but note the further out we look, the further back in time we are seeing too, and then realize, for instance, if we look at 2 distinct objects out there, and measure a 60 degree angle between them, and a distance, let's say of 10 billion light years away from us for each, then they were not 10 billion light years from each, despite what it looks like from here. They are far closer to each other than us but it is the time factor skewing the geometry too.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
