Space-time
01
the theory that adds the notion of time to that of a three-dimensional space
Example
The concept of space-time unifies the three dimensions of space with the fourth dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum.
The study of space-time helps cosmologists understand the large-scale structure and evolution of the universe.
In the early universe, space-time is thought to have been highly curved, leading to phenomena such as cosmic inflation.
