AI Thread Summary
Time, space, and matter are fundamental components of the universe that interact closely yet maintain distinct properties. While they are interwoven in various physical theories, they are considered independent entities in their fundamental nature. The relationships among them are crucial to understanding physics, with units like seconds, meters, and kilograms serving as the basis for measurement. Despite their independence, their interactions are essential for explaining phenomena in the universe. Overall, the discussion highlights the complexity of their relationship in the context of physics.

Hey All,

Maybe it is a dumb question, I donno, but do time, space and matter (the building block of the known universe) SHARE properties or are they COMPLETELY independent but interwoven with each other? For example, like the Union of three sets in Set Theory. Three independent entities combined to each other.

Tank you,

G,

Physics is all about studying the relationship between time, space and mass (among other things). The second, meter and kilogram are fundamental units. Relations between the three are strewn throughout all theories in physics.
 
But they are completely independent from each other, right? that is my question.
 
Just a general answer, no need for details. Just the basics of it.
 
This thread is dedicated to the beauty and awesomeness of our Universe. If you feel like it, please share video clips and photos (or nice animations) of space and objects in space in this thread. Your posts, clips and photos may by all means include scientific information; that does not make it less beautiful to me (n.b. the posts must of course comply with the PF guidelines, i.e. regarding science, only mainstream science is allowed, fringe/pseudoscience is not allowed). n.b.

Today at about 4:30 am I saw the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter, where they were about the width of the full moon, or one half degree apart. Did anyone else see it? Edit: The moon is 2,200 miles in diameter and at a distance of 240,000 miles. Thereby it subtends an angle in radians of 2,200/240,000=.01 (approximately). With pi radians being 180 degrees, one radian is 57.3 degrees, so that .01 radians is about .50 degrees (angle subtended by the moon). (.57 to be more exact, but with...
