Space and time are not absolute entities from "summary" of The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene
In our everyday experience, space and time may appear as fixed and absolute entities, providing a backdrop against which events unfold. However, as we delve deeper into the nature of the universe, we come to realize that this apparent solidity is merely a facade. Albert Einstein's revolutionary theory of relativity shattered the traditional notions of space and time, revealing them to be flexible and interconnected. According to Einstein, space and time are not separate, independent constructs but rather components of a single dynamic framework known as spacetime.
In this fluid conception of reality, the fabric of spacetime can warp and curve in response to the presence of matter and energy, giving rise to the force of gravity. This bending of spacetime influences the motion of objects within it, causing them to follow curved paths rather than straight lines.
Moreover, the theory of relativity dictates that the passage of time is not uniform but...
