What is space and time in literature? In literary theory and philosophy of language, the chronotope is how configurations of time and space are represented in language and discourse. The term was taken up by Russian literary scholar Mikhail Bakhtin who...
What does through time and space mean? (My spaceship can travel) through space and time: (My flying saucer can travel) in the sky and to different moments in time. What is the relationship between time and space? Einstein, however, introduced the...
What is space in simple words? First, some simple answers: space is everything in the universe beyond the top of the Earth’s atmosphere – the Moon, where the GPS satellites orbit, Mars, other stars, the Milky Way, black holes, and distant...
What is theory of relativity in one sentence? According to the theory of general relativity, matter causes space to curve. It is posited that gravitation is not a force, as understood by Newtonian physics, but a curved field (an area of...
Are time space and space-time the same? “Space-time” is not a kind of time; it’s both space and time, treated as one thing. We live 3 dimensions of space and 1 dimension of time, making the 4 dimensions of space-time. (More...
Can spacetime be curved? Around any mass (or energy), spacetime is curved. The presence of planets, stars and galaxies deform the fabric of spacetime like a large ball deforms a bedsheet. (This deformation occurs in four dimensions, so the two-dimensional bedsheet...
What is the space-time continuum simple explanation? Because space consists of 3 dimensions, and time is 1-dimensional, space-time must, therefore, be a 4-dimensional object. It is believed to be a ‘continuum’ because so far as we know, there are no missing...
Why is it called space-time? This new reality was that space and time, as physical constructs, have to be combined into a new mathematical/physical entity called ‘space-time’, because the equations of relativity show that both the space and time coordinates of...
Can space/time fabric be broken? According to Einstein’s general relativity, it is impossible to tear the fabric of space. Is there a fabric of time? In Einstein’s theory space and time is single entity called spacetime. We treat spacetime as a...
Is space/time fabric 2d or 3d? The fabric of space-time is a conceptual model combining the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time. What is 3d space-time? In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that combines the three...
