spacetime
Meanings
时空,四维时空。
An n-dimensional continuum consisting of dimensions of both space and time. Normally spacetime is considered as having 4 dimensions (x, y, z, t), but higher-dimensional spacetimes are often encountered in theoretical physics, e.g. the 5-dimensional spacetime of Kaluza-Klein theory or the 11 dimensions of spacetime in M-theory.
Examples :
"Scientists study spacetime to understand how gravity affects the universe. "
科学家研究时空,以便理解引力如何影响宇宙。
时空,度规。
A specific region of the universe with mathematically different properties than the surrounding spacetime. Synonymous with "metric" within the context of general relativity.
