Space-time

 

• Mathematical model that combines space and time into one.

• Interpreted with 3 dimensions of space and one dimension of time.

• Space-time is used to locate events in time, rather then a location.

• Ex: motion of planets around the sun, motion of light around a rotating star, the explosion of a star

 

 

History of Space-time:

 

The idea started in the 19th century with Edgar Allan Poe saying "space and duration are one." The first man to explain the concept was Albert Einstein's teacher, and mathmatician named Hemann Minkowski in 1908. Space-time lead to the creation of other concepts such as special relativity.
