In Einstein's theory of relativity space is described as being three dimensions of the four dimensional "space-time continuum". The Four-Dimensional Continuum of space-time can be expressed using three space coordinates x,y,z (eg. length, width, depth)and one time coordinate ict, where t is time, c is the speed of light, and i is the square root of minus 1. Einstein, prior to publishing his research into relativity, became convinced that time and space were simultaneous in that any measurement of points in space required that time be present as an interval between the points. This condition, known on occasions as space-time covarianceor equilibrium is the reason that light yearsare currently the unit of measurement in expanses of space.

Why is phyics a way of thinking?
No, physics is a branch of science involving theory's like General relativity, special relativity, and space-time, etc.
Are space and time are absolute?
No; the Special Theory of Relativity shows that measurements of space and time can vary, depending on the observer (if two observers move at different velocities). The General Theory of Relativity introduces additional differences that may depend on the observer.
What is the term for the relationship between the speed of light and the measurements of time and space?
Einstein's Theory of Relativity
Can you explain Einstein's Theory of Relativity?
General Theory of Relativity, which primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newton's theory, predicting important new results for fast-moving and/or very massive bodies. The General Theory of Relativity correctly reproduces all validated predictions of Newton's theory, but expands on our understanding of some of the key principles. Newtonian physics had previously hypothesised that gravity operated through empty space, but the theory lacked explanatory power as far as how the distance and mass of a given object could be transmitted through space. General relativity irons out this paradox, for it shows that objects continue to move in a straight line in space-time, but we observe the motion as acceleration because of the curved nature of space-time.
What is the theory of reletivity?
Physicists usually dichotomize the Theory of Relativity into two parts.The first is the Special Theory of Relativity, which essentially deals with the question of whether rest and motion are relative or absolute, and with the consequences of Einstein's conjecture that they are relative.The second is the General Theory of Relativity, which primarily applies to particles as they accelerate, particularly due to gravitation, and acts as a radical revision of Newton's theory, predicting important new results for fast-moving and/or very massive bodies.

What is super-relativity?
As defined by a patent "The Theory of Super Relativity is a proposed Theory of Everything that extends Albert Einsteins Relativity Theory. It is based on the Classical physics concept of a Tensor Field which describes space as a variable geometric quantity. All material objects are made from this object which is space itself, and force is mediated by this object.
Is there anything called Gravitational Push?
yes. there is no such thing as the gravitational pull however. look up Einsteins theory of special relativity. the bend of space is what gravity really is.
Who said newtons three laws are false according to space?
They're not false exactly, but become inaccurate and break down at high velocities (of the order of the speed of light). Einsteins theory of special relativity prooves this.
Who developed the theory that the measurements of time and space can vary?
Einstein - Theory of Relativity
Who developed the story of realativity?
Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity. He first proposed the special theory of relativity in 1905 and later developed the general theory of relativity in 1915. These theories revolutionized our understanding of space, time, and gravity.
What did einstine discover?

What is the concept of relativity?
Special relativity is a theory pertaining space and time. This theory was developed by Albert Einstein and explained issues in the physics of time for light and electrodynamics.

What is the fourth element in the theory of relativity?
the fourth elements or the fourth dimension in the relativity is time. The space are the first three dimensions.
What is relativity theory that Eistein proposed?
The Theory of Relativity was proposed by Albert Einstein. It discusses how space and time should be considered together and that the speed of light does not change for anyone.
