When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

al pasar la gente por el continuo espacio-tiempo
The figurative geometry of time / space also seems to be routinely inverted in Spanish.
Query: whether a passive construction ought be used as in 'pasarse' (vs. passing o.s. off and switching sides) whilst omitting 'la gente'.
Indagar de una forma rigurosa en la física de los viajes en el tiempo requiere que coqueteemos con la geometría del continuo espacio-tiempo.
El continuo espacio-tiempo es una estructura geométrica donde parece darse el movimiento y distribución de la materia que observamos.

I understand these 'shifts' involve a kind of inner struggle.

ya que las personas nos vamos cruzando en el continuo espacio-tiempo
1. We can't overlook the word "people"--it must be translated.
2. I think they are talking about different dimensions--in mystery theories, we humans involuntarily meet dead people or people from other dimensions.
3. "Continuo" for lat. "continuum" does exist in spanish (link 1).
whereas for others it is memories from past lives, or extreme sensitivity as people shift across a time/space continuum
mientras que para otros son recuerdos de vidas pasadas o una sensibilidad extrema, ya que las personas nos vamos cruzando en el continuo espacio-tiempo
