It is shown that, in the model of a flat 3D space, the time (i.e., the Hubble or the gravitation constant) plays a role of a spatial property. Gravitation field of spherical central mass does not lead to a lowering of symmetry of the space and appearance of anisotropy. In particular, the relations that describe the changes in the refractive indices of the space treated as an optical medium near the massive spherical body under the influence of its gravitation field have been derived.
