ruimtetijdcontinuum
The ruimtetijdcontinuum, also known as spacetime, is a four-dimensional mathematical model that combines the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single framework. This concept is fundamental to the theory of relativity, developed by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century. In spacetime, events are not merely described by their spatial coordinates (x, y, z) and time (t), but by a four-dimensional coordinate (x, y, z, t).
The theory of relativity introduces two key principles: the constancy of the speed of light and the
The ruimtetijdcontinuum is often visualized using the concept of a "light cone," which represents the paths
The ruimtetijdcontinuum has been confirmed by numerous experiments and observations, including the precise measurements of the
