What is the space time continuum?
In: Other
Imagine the universe as a coordinate system. Let’s suppose we want to determine YOUR position on this coordinate system. We would then have to use the 3 coordinates of ‘space’ and 1 coordinate of ‘time’ to represent your position.
According to Einstein you are moving in space but also moving through time at a total velocity equal to that of light. If you move faster through space, you’ll move slower through time because that velocity is always constant. Hence space and time are sort of integrated into a ‘continuum’.
I am sorry if this didn’t make sense 😅
