  2. Spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

    t. e. In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects such as how different observers perceive where and when events occur.

  3. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity. Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations. The history of an object's location through time traces out a line or ...

  4. Central Time Zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Time_Zone

    The North American Central Time Zone ( CT) [1] is a time zone in parts of Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central America and some Caribbean islands . Central Time Zone is affected by two time designations yearly: Central Standard Time (CST) is observed from the first Sunday in November to the second Sunday in March.

    Boeing Starliner. The Boeing Starliner (or CST-100 [b]) is a class of partially reusable spacecraft designed to transport crew to the International Space Station (ISS) and other low-Earth-orbit destinations. [7] [8] [9] It is manufactured by Boeing, with the Commercial Crew Program (CCP) of NASA as the anchor customer. [10]

  7. Spacetime topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_topology

    Events connected by light have zero separation. The plenum of spacetime in the plane is split into four quadrants, each of which has the topology of R 2. The dividing lines are the trajectory of inbound and outbound photons at (0,0). The planar-cosmology topological segmentation is the future F, the past P, space left L, and space right D.

  8. Time–space compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timespace_compression

    Timespace compression (also known as spacetime compression and timespace distanciation) is an idea referring to the altering of the qualities of spacetime and the relationship between space and time that is a consequence of the expansion of capital. It is rooted in Karl Marx 's notion of the "annihilation of space by time ...

  9. Event (relativity) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event_(relativity)

    v. t. e. In relativity, an event is anything that happens that has a specific time and place in spacetime. For example, a glass breaking on the floor is an event; it occurs at a unique place and a unique time. [1] Strictly speaking, the notion of an event is an idealization, in the sense that it specifies a definite time and place, whereas any ...
