Concepts of Time and Space

Time and space are fundamental dimensions that organize our universe. Space is the three-dimensional extent in which objects and events occur—it’s the "stage" where everything exists. Time is the progression in which events happen, providing a sequence from past to future. According to modern physics, especially Einstein’s theory of relativity, space and time are interconnected into a four-dimensional fabric called spacetime. Objects with mass can curve spacetime, influencing gravity and how we perceive motion and time itself. Together, time and space form the backdrop for the universe’s structure, guiding the behavior and interaction of everything within it.
