The Fabric of the Cosmos

"The Fabric of the Cosmos," a concept popularized by physicist Brian Greene, refers to the structure and nature of space and time in the universe. It suggests that space is not merely an empty backdrop but an active participant in the cosmos, influenced by gravity and mass. According to Einstein's theory of General Relativity, massive objects like planets and stars bend this fabric, creating what we perceive as gravity. This idea helps explain how the universe works, including the behavior of celestial bodies, the flow of time, and the nature of black holes, revealing the intricate interconnectedness of everything in existence.
