Absolute Space

Absolute space is a concept in physics that suggests there exists a true, unchanging framework in which all physical events occur, independent of objects or observers. This means that space itself is a sort of "container" for everything in the universe. Unlike relative space, which is based on the positions of objects in relation to one another, absolute space proposes that there is a consistent, objective measure of distance and position that doesn’t depend on what is in it or who is observing it. This idea has been debated in the context of theories like Newtonian mechanics and Einstein's relativity.
