What is the Time-Space continuum and who propounded it?
541498
it is a conception of Space, made not only of 3 dimension, but 4. The fourth is Time. The relativity equations are made in this 4 dimension Space-time "Space".\nThe idea was not from Einstein, but he was the one who hd spread it.

The answer involves a wormhole in the space time continuum and a secrete plot by sock manufactures.  I could explain it better, but I'd need an overhead projector and a white board.  :P

time is of GOD who is eternal in our definition.\nTherefore time as we know it can not be quantified as to its origin.\nThe BIG BANG as some scientist ascribe to was GOD snapping his fingers to put the universe into existence, whether he created the universe before or at the same time as earth, I don't know and don't care, not my business to know because it is not beneficial to know.

*sigh* Another debatable query enslaved to the limited senses of us mortals, yet forced in all its calamity by our fascination. Here goes.\n\nEinstein shook the fundaments of the Scientific Community when he introduced his Theory Of Relativity and Special Theory Of Relativity back in 1905. He was considered everything from Nostradamus to Jesus. This pinnacle of his life was not attained in mere pondering. Let me expalin to you this fragment of his theory.\n\n  In theoretical suppositions, the space-time connoction bear themselves in alliance. Any change inflicted on one dimension is prone to affect another.\n\n When we say that we will only age a bit, while the Earth has conquered years and decades, we mean to say, that, time being relative to every individual, along with its flow, may hasten up, if we start to function at a velocity of extremes.\n\n If time IS relative (No humane way to confirm), then a higher velocity achieved could result in a hastened flow in the fluid of the "Fourth Dimension" of time. Such relativity was all that he wished to make us understand.\n\n As far as the aging is concerned, provided that we have armour to protect us from the friction effects of such a speed, we are going to age alright. Since our molecules are being relative to the molecules of the rest of the universe, they are not going to change much. Yet RELATIVELY they will alter a decade or more (backwards)!\n\n*sniff* Einstein, I salute you!

Time is a property of this universe only - this is not only a belief of Christian cosmology, it is also the standard belief of modern scientific cosmology, the way Stephen Hawking modeled it in "A Brief History of Time." Time is quite specific to our universe. Time has no meaning or applicability outside of the universe.\n\nSince God, from "outside" or "above" our universe, is a non-temporal being  - totally outside time and all its concepts - temporal concepts such as "beginning", "created" or "origins" are utterly inapplicable. They quite literally have no meaning where God is concerned. God's today is also his yesterday, which is also his tomorrow. He does not originate because origination only means something in the context of time. It may be difficult for beings such as ourselves to understand existing outside of time, because we are stuck in it. But the limits of our imagination are a problem for our comprehension, and not a problem for God's existence.\n\nAs St. Augustine said:\n\n'Nor do you precede any given period of time by another period of time, or you would not precede all periods of time. In the eminence of your ever-present eternity, you precede  all times past, and extend beyond all future times, for they are still to come--and when they have come, they will be past. But "you are always the same and your years shall have no end." Your years neither go nor come; but ours both go and come in order that all separate moments may come to pass. All your years stand together as one, since they are abiding. Nor do your years past exclude the years to come because your years do not pass away. All these years of ours shall be with you, when all of them have ceased to be. Your years are but a day, and your day is not recurrent, but always today. Your "today" does not yield to tomorrow and does not follow yesterday. Your "today" is eternity. '

"The mathematician Hermann Minkowski, and ultimately Einstein as well, advocated thinking about time as another dimension of the universe - the fourth dimension - in some ways quite similar to the three spatial dimensions in which we find ourselves immersed. Although it sounds abstract, the notion of time as a dimension is actually concrete. When we want to meet someone, we tell them where 'in space' we will expect to see them - for instance, the 9th floor of the building on the corner of 53rd Street and 7th Avenue. There are three pieces of information here (9th floor, 53rd Street, 7th Avenue) reflecting a particular location in the three spatial dimensions of the universe. Equally important, however, is our specification of when we expect to meet them - for instance, at 3 P.M. This piece of information tells us where 'in time' our meeting will take place. Events are therefore specified by four pieces of information: three in space and one in time...In this sense, time is another dimension."

Space time is the total of all demsions.  They as you may know are height, length, depth, and time.  Time is the fouth demsions because things take time to move.  However time an dspace are theorized to be somehow related.  In this case they would have similar measuremants becuase of that relation.  We can't truly define time, or space.  Space could be infinite and that the universe just sits in it.  Time could also be inifite and yet everything we know as time could just be an event in it.  Humans set a try finite number to infinity sometimes, hence it's given the name the name the "limit".  There's always more to find in this vast, endless world of ours, but all those things will definitely not be found in our liftime.  Maybe, if you believe in this, we'll see the human race find the answers while the rest of us are in heaven.

The current theories have predicted how large spacetime is, and many Astrophysicists are now working on finding who is beyond our universe. \n\nSo no, space is not infinite in the sense that most people think of. Outside of our universe is still a mystery, but keep in mind that there is not three demensional space outside of our universe, and no time, either.

Hubble discovered expansion...sort of. He proposed it as a theory but it was a colleague who did the math and proved it. I can't remember the colleague's name.

I would go to the distant future and speak with people who perhaps allready have the time machine so I could understand how to use it carefully without disrupting the continuum. I would be careful on going to the future to get reports on sports games and the stock market because each future you visit is only one particular future, and with each passing second it creates a completely differrent future. I also might take christians and other religeous fanatics to the far distant past to prove to them that evolution occured once and for all and their bible thumping is basicaly meaningless. However this could also be dangerous because any foreign disease on us, or exhaled by us that was exposed to the primordial world could totaly change what we know to be current history. Every invention created by us happens very carefully, we make nothing before we are ready. If (in total speculation) a future time traveller visited the past he would have all precautions accounted for, such as disease, mistakes, and keeping a low profile. In our century we have no such precautions. So if I ever did get a hold of a time machine, I would return it to whoever it came from. Another problem with using a time machine to change the past or "the grandfather" paradox is Richard Feynmans theory of "a particle will take every possible path in space time" meaning if I went back and changed a past, I would change the past in a totaly differrent time frame then the temporal continuum I am used to, so when I returned everything would be the same. However I would be still messing with the universe. Theirfore if I ever found a empty time machine I would indeed leave it alone, or return it to the big temporal lost and found. We are not ready for such technology, and probaly wont be for a long time.

They worked together. Across the space-time continuum.\n\nYou obviously aren't in the know.

If you want to neglect time and space, that's your viewpoint.\n\nAll of quantum theory which gave rise to such views in the general public deals with maths which require a level of geometry which cannot be imagined. All the fancy stuff are suppositions necessary to keep it simple.

Time only makes sense within the context of the universe. The universe provides us with our very meanings of space and time. When you measure time you are really measuring change between two states of the universe. \n\nTherefore it is a tautology to say the Universe always existed. Time is part of the universe so the statement the universe existed for ALL time is of course true. We define time as what we measure by clocks WITHIN the universe.\n\nThis does not imply that the universe has existed for an infinite amount of time. We don't know whether it has or not. But by definition it HAS existed for ALL time.\n\nThe idea that time is something apart from the universe went out with Einstein. Christians need to make better arguments.

Sounds like a question i'd ask Doc Brown on Back to the Future, what happens when history is changed?  Playing with the space time continuum is risky business.  Have you heard of the Chaos Theory?  Any little event can cause major ripple effects that may be worse than the one that was 'supposed' to happen.  For example, you kill al the terrorists who flew into the WTC and Pentagon, which means there was no stopping of commercial airline traffic....which means the terrorists on the west coast were able to carry out their suicide missions...which means one of them struck a nuclear power plant that released radiation travelling world-wide.  You get my drift, and, oh by the way, there were terrorists who were ready to takeover aircraft on the westcoast, but thanks to the FAA clamp down on traffic, their plans were thwarted.  Their targets are unknown, i only picked a nuclear facility to make a point.

space time is theory, it is not an individually absolute\nconcept, it depends on relative motion between\ndifferent objects and distinct observers......\nDifferent observers will have different answers\nfrom their point of reference.....\nWe all exist in space time, yet space & time as a\nwhole are different from the parts which we try\nto understand with our perceptions which can and\ndo show illusions of our mind-set ...\nYou can find this idea of space & time in Einstein's\nSpecial Relativity Theory ........\n\nentanglement falls under Quantum Physics and deals\nwith the phenomenon of spatially distant particles having\ncorrelated properties .......

There is disagreement over whether the universe is indeed finite or infinite in spatial extent and volume. Many astronomers and cosmologists believe the universe is infinite due to recent findings in NASA's WMAP project supporting a flat (therefore infinite) universe\n\nHowever, the observable universe, consisting of all locations that could have affected us since the Big Bang given the finite speed of light, is certainly finite. The edge of the cosmic light horizon is 13.7 billion light years (4.19 Gpc) distant. The present distance (comoving distance) to the edge of the observable universe is larger, due to the ever increasing rate at which the universe has been expanding; it is estimated to be about 78 billion light years (7.8 × 1010 light years, or 7.4 × 1026 m). This would make the comoving volume, of the known universe, equal to 1.9 × 1033 cubic light years (assuming this region is perfectly spherical). The observable universe contains about 7 × 1022 stars, organized in about 100 billion galaxies, which themselves form clusters and superclusters. The number of galaxies may be even larger, based on the Hubble Deep Field observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Space Telescope discovered galaxies such as Abell 1835 IR1916, which are over 13 billion light years from Earth.\n\nBoth popular and professional research articles in cosmology often use the term "universe" when they really mean "observable universe". This is because unobservable physical phenomena are scientifically irrelevant; that is, they cannot affect any events that we can perceive.
