Absolute Space and Time

Absolute space and time are concepts suggesting that space exists independently and uniformly everywhere, and that time flows at a constant rate, regardless of objects or observers. Think of absolute space as an unchanging, fixed background in which all events happen, and absolute time as a universal clock ticking identically everywhere. These ideas, once proposed by Isaac Newton, imply that space and time are fixed stages for physical phenomena. However, modern physics, especially Einstein’s theory of relativity, shows that space and time are interconnected, flexible, and depend on the observer’s motion, challenging the notion of absolute, unchanging backgrounds.
