    Shape Spacetime
Click For Summary
Spacetime is a mathematical model that integrates three-dimensional space with one-dimensional time, forming a continuum essential for understanding the universe's mechanics. It simplifies physical theories by treating time as a fourth dimension that cannot be separated from space, especially in relativistic contexts. The Earth exists within this spacetime framework, rather than above it, meaning everything in the universe is contained within spacetime. Visual representations may depict spacetime as a surface, but they cannot fully capture its complexity. Understanding spacetime is crucial for grasping the fundamental workings of the universe.

hi every one


I'm asked about the spacetime and his shape

is spacetmie like the sea or waht?


thank for everyone

is there anybody hire

yahooooooo
 
Hello ريمان,


From Wikipedia:

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
For other uses of this term, see Spacetime (disambiguation).
In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that combines three-dimensional space and one-dimensional time into a single construct called the space-time continuum, in which time plays the role of the 4th dimension. According to Euclidean space perception, our universe has three dimensions of space, and one dimension of time. By combining space and time into a single manifold, physicists have significantly simplified a good deal of physical theory, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.

In classical mechanics, the use of spacetime over Euclidean space is optional, as time is independent of mechanical motion in three dimensions. In relativistic contexts, however, time cannot be separated from the three dimensions of space as it depends on an object's velocity relative to the speed of light.

I hope this helps.

tank you

is spactime like this http://www.blog.speculist.com/archives/spacetime.gif"

is Earth above spacetime or in spacetime

please help me this is very important informations for me


yyyyyyyyyyyhooooooooooooo

My understanding is that spacetime is basically a frame of reference for the entire universe. That means that whatever is in the universe is "in" spacetime, including the earth. I can't imagine what would be "outside" spacetime.
 
are you mean the Earth is in spacetime not above spacetime

Yes, that's right. The Earth is in spacetime. The picture just shows one surface out of many I'm guessing. That surface happens to run under the image of the earth. They can't show all the surfaces that make up spacetime in the picture otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the earth.
 
tank you very much you are so smart
