Space-Time Continuum

The space-time continuum is a four-dimensional construct that merges the traditional three dimensions of space with the dimension of time, fundamentally altering our understanding of physics and the universe. This concept is crucial in the theories of relativity and influences how we perceive gravity and motion.
