Einstein-Minkowski Space

Einstein-Minkowski spacetime is a geometric model combining the three dimensions of space with time into a four-dimensional framework. It’s like a fabric where every event in the universe—like a star’s light reaching us—has specific coordinates in space and time. Unlike a simple map, this spacetime accounts for how gravity and motion distort these coordinates, blending space and time into a unified structure. Developed by Einstein and Minkowski, it provides the mathematical foundation for Einstein’s theory of relativity, explaining how objects move and how gravity influences the fabric of the universe at a fundamental level.
