The space-time continuum is a mathematical model described by Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity that unites the three physical dimensions of space with time to form a single framework or fabric in which gravity or large massive bodies curve or warp this framework or fabric. This four-dimensional framework is the model to describe the universe today. However, there may be more dimensions than this according to string theory which postulates eleven physical dimensions (ten spatial plus one temporal).

How does mass effect gravitational force?
There is no such thing as gravitational force. Mass curves spacetime and stuff moves through spacetime in straight spacetime paths. The effect of this is what we call gravity. The more the mass the greater the curvature of spacetime.
What is the explanation of Einsteins' theory of relativity?
Try reading Spacetime Physics by Taylor & Wheeler. I read the first edition in high school and found it very understandable. The second edition is now in print.
How is existence as a concept explained in physics?
The Big Bang theory has been worked out in great detail, but if you want more explanation....and "A warpage in the quantum continuum" won't do, then the only recourse is philosophy or religion. Physics is concerned with HOW things work, and existence is perilously close to "WHY do we exist?"
Does gravity have an affect on photons?
Gravity deforms spacetime, and photons follow the curves in spacetime that are put there by objects with large mass (and, therefore, large gravity).
Does time move in a straight line excluding spacetime gravity changes or in a wave and if a wave do you travel on the wave or through it?
In the geometric treatment of spacetime, time is a linear dimension. A given particle could have a straight or curved track in spacetime, but time itself is a straight line.
Is the big bang theory a conceptual or physical model?
Both - The Big Bang Theory is comprised of the a physical model for the evolutionary expansion of our universe within a traditional fourth dimensional frame of reference for our SpaceTime continuum, and then a more conceptual model involving the evolutionary expansion of the universe from its inception as a singularity to our reality for existence in a traditional fourth dimensional SpaceTime continuum.

What is the field of physics overlapping time and space?
The field of physics that studies the interactions between time and space is called spacetime physics or, more specifically, relativistic physics. This field encompasses Albert Einstein's theories of special relativity and general relativity, which describe the behavior of objects in relation to time, space, and gravity. It explores phenomena such as time dilation, length contraction, and the curvature of spacetime.
Is there Apple MacBook Pro in 3d?
All Apple MacBooks Pros are 3D objects which also exist within a 4D spacetime continuum. No MacBook Pros have a 3D screen.

Physics related to science?
Physics is a branch of science. It deals with the physical world. It is a natural science that deals with the study of matter and its motion through spacetime, as well as all applicable concepts, such as energy and force

When was Spacetime Studios created?
Spacetime Studios was created in 2005.
Is gravity a force or a bend in spacetime?
Gravity is a force, not a bend in spacetime.
Does all mass warp spacetime or does the warping of spacetime start when mass reaches a certain level?
Look at this websitewww.spacetimemodel.com It says that mass is really just a 4d volume of spacetime displacing and therefore warping the spacetime around it and so the answer is all mass displaces and so warps spacetime.
When was SpaceTime - software - created?
SpaceTime - software - was created on 2007-06-04.
