Einstein’s Philosophy of Time

Einstein's philosophy of time challenges the traditional view of it as a constant, absolute entity. Instead, he proposed that time is intertwined with space, forming a four-dimensional fabric known as spacetime. In this framework, time can bend and stretch depending on factors like gravity and relative motion. This means that time is experienced differently depending on one’s velocity or proximity to massive objects. Thus, time is relative rather than universal, changing with each observer's position and speed, transforming our understanding of how events unfold in the universe.
