The Nature of Space and Time

Space and time are interconnected dimensions that form the fabric of our universe, known as spacetime. Instead of existing separately, they influence each other: massive objects like stars and planets curve spacetime, affecting how objects move and how we experience gravity. This means gravity isn't just a force but the result of spacetime's shape. Our universe is dynamic, expanding over time, and phenomena like black holes show extreme distortions of spacetime. Understanding space and time helps explain the nature of the universe, from the motion of planets to the origins of the cosmos itself.
