Space (English Band) Songs
Space is a Three-dimensional space, three-dimensional continuum containing position (geometry), positions and direction (geometry), directions. In classical physics, physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions. Modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional Continuum (theory), continuum known as ''spacetime''. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework. In the 19th and 20th centuries mathematicians began to examine geometries that are Non-Euclidean geometry, non-Euclidean, in which space is conceived as ''space curvature, curved'', rather than ''flat space, flat'', as in the Euclidean space. According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, space around gravitational fields deviate ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
