Episode 216 - Cosmic Conundrums
from Kevin McFarlane's podcast · host Kevin McFarlane
Modern theoretical physics, grounded in General Relativity (GR), conceptualizes the universe through a four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime, which intrinsically links three spatial dimensions with one temporal dimension. While mathematically fused, time is handled distinctly in the relativistic interval calculation compared to the spatial coordinates. This standard framework has proven immensely successful in describing gravity as the geometry of this continuum.
