How can volumes and hypervolumes be related to Einstein's theory of special relativity and to quantum mechanics? Also, can volumes and hypervolumes of objects be used for modeling how different scenarios can change over time? Oh yeah, and hi my name is Sasha Jaffarove!

A 3D volume is a "slice" of a 4D object in the same way that a 2D square is a "slice" of a 3D cube. Relativity treats time as a fourth dimension, in many ways similar to the three spatial dimensions (but with some key differences of course)
