Time Space Fabric: Malleability & Extension Explored

In summary, time space fabric is a concept in physics that suggests time and space are interconnected and can be affected by gravity and other forces. It can be malleable through mass and energy, and can be extended through the expansion of the universe and gravitational waves. This affects our perception of time and has been supported by experiments and observations, although it is still a theoretical concept.

What is space time fabric is it have properties like malleability or extension because I was watching cosmos in discovery they said "time space is very flexible flexible than we thought."
Can you suggest some mathematics about time space fabric

You should not be trying to learn actual science from pop science sources. Spacetime is not a "fabric" and does not have properties like those of a fabric. To learn about the actual properties of spacetime, I suggest a textbook on relativity. A good online source is Sean Carroll's lecture notes:

Thanku sir
 

1. What is time space fabric?

Time space fabric is a concept in physics that describes the interconnectedness of time and space. It suggests that time and space are not separate entities, but rather part of a single fabric that can be affected by gravity and other forces.

2. How is time space fabric malleable?

According to Einstein's theory of general relativity, mass and energy can bend the fabric of time space. This means that objects with large masses, such as planets and stars, can distort the fabric of time space, causing it to warp and bend.

3. Can time space fabric be extended?

Yes, time space fabric can be extended or stretched. This can occur through the expansion of the universe, as well as through gravitational waves. Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of time space that are created by the movement of massive objects, such as colliding black holes.

4. How does the malleability of time space fabric affect our perception of time?

The malleability of time space fabric can cause time to pass at different rates depending on the strength of gravity. This means that time can pass slower or faster for objects in different gravitational fields. This phenomenon, known as time dilation, has been proven through experiments with atomic clocks and has implications for space travel and our understanding of the universe.

5. Is the concept of time space fabric proven?

While the concept of time space fabric is widely accepted among physicists, it is a theoretical concept that has yet to be fully proven. However, the predictions made by Einstein's theory of general relativity, which includes the idea of time space fabric, have been confirmed through various experiments and observations, providing strong evidence for its validity.
