space-time Definition

space·-time (-tīm′)

noun

  1. a four-dimensional continuum with four coordinates, the three dimensions of space and that of time, in which any event can be located
  2. the physical reality inherent in such a continuum

space-time Usage Examples

Converse of object

  • warp: However, to create a wormhole, one needs matter that warps space-time in the opposite way, like the surface of a saddle.
  • curve: Ordinary matter curves space-time back on itself, like the surface of the Earth.
  • call: Instead, they were just different directions in a single object called space-time.
  • have: Space has three dimensions, and time has one, so space-time is four-dimensional, but the four components are discrete.
  • cause: How to measure gravitational waves Gravitational waves are disturbances in the curvature of space-time caused by the motions of matter.
  • indicate: This does not indicate that Newtonian space-time is only a useful approximation to reality and nothing more.

Noun used with modifier

gravity: Gravity curves space-time, that is both space and time.

Adjective modifier

  • Newtonian: Now we have units of creation that function in a Newtonian space-time.
  • Einsteinian: In our solar system, the astronomy of the inner planets ( Venus and Mercury ) suggests that Einsteinian space-time is influencing them.
  • flat: The general idea was made rigorous in flat space-time in the early fifties by A. S. Wightman.
  • 4-dimensional: I have over-simplified the discussion, by talking of 3-dimensional space, rather than of 4-dimensional space-time.
  • four-dimensional: That UFOs can appear, or disappear, on the spot, when leaving or entering our visual four-dimensional space-time is probably true.
  • real: Experimental investigations and astrophysical observations designed to detect possible evidence for the anisotropy of real space-time.

Modifies a noun

  • continuum: The space-time continuum, which is a fancy way of saying " we don't know.
  • diagram: Here is a space-time diagram to which shows the two causally separated regions.
  • dimension: Some are compacted into little balls so that only the strings poke out into the four space-time dimensions we observe.
  • domain: It is the " switch track " by which the transcendent Word can be mediated redemptively into the space-time domain of human life.
  • method: At the heart of the calculations is the GW space-time method.
  • region: The claim is that the allocation itself of observable algebras to finite space-time regions suffices to account for the physical meaning of observables.

Preposition: in

way: However, to create a wormhole, one needs matter that warps space-time in the opposite way, like the surface of a saddle.
