How did Einstein explain space time?
He said that all objects in the universe sit in a smooth, four-dimensional fabric called space-time. Massive objects such as the sun warp the space-time around them, and so Earth’s orbit is simply the result of our planet following this curvature.
What is space time in relativity?
In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that combines the three dimensions of space and one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional manifold. Spacetime diagrams can be used to visualize relativistic effects, such as why different observers perceive differently where and when events occur.
What is the equation for space time?
Space-time is a thing unto itself. The cosmological constant is a quantity used in general relativity to describe some properties of space-time. Here’s how it goes. Maybe gravity is the curvature of space-time caused by the mass-energy of stuff within it plus the energy of space itself….cosmological constant.

Did Einstein say that time is an illusion?
Albert Einstein once wrote: People like us who believe in physics know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion. Time, in other words, he said, is an illusion.
Why is time the 4th dimension?
“Time is ‘separated’ from space in a sense that time is not a fourth dimension of space. Instead, time as a numerical order of change exists in a 3D space. Our model on space and time is founded on measurement and corresponds better to physical reality.”
Was Einstein an Eternalist?
Einstein and the past, present, and future. It is called Eternalism. It’s the philosophy adopted from the quantum theory that the past, present, and future all exist at the same time. In other words, the past, present, and future are not linear.
Can humans think in 4D?
In fact we can even draw those 3-dimensional models in 2 dimensions like we did before, and let our minds perform two dimensional leaps. It takes some getting used to, but it’s not impossible and many people develop a rather good intuition for four dimensions.
Is gravity a superfluid?
Due to non-zero, positive viscosity of the SQS, and to Bernoulli pressure, these vortices attract the surrounding quanta, pressure decreases and the consequent incoming flow of quanta lets arise a gravita- tional potential. This is called superfluid quantum gravity.
