Four-dimensional Space

Four-dimensional space, often described in the context of special relativity, combines three dimensions of space with time as the fourth dimension. Instead of viewing space as a separate entity from time, in this framework, they are intertwined into a single continuum called spacetime. Events are represented by points in this four-dimensional space, where each point indicates a specific location in space at a particular moment in time. This concept helps explain how time can slow down for objects moving at high speeds, illustrating how motion affects our perception of time and distance.
