how is space and time related?
931526
As you travel through space you travel through time.  As you sit reading these answers you are traveling through space at the same rate as the Earth is traveling through space.  We have made our own increments of time in relation to the amount of space the Earth travels in one revolution around the Sun as well as the one rotation on our axis.\n\nThe secret of the Bermuda Triangle is ~~bzzzzzzzxt~~~~\n\n\nMessage from Yahoo:\nConection lost.

Simply the relationship between the 3 spatial directions (length, width, heighth) and time as it passes.  It is usually used in conjunction with Einstein's Theories of Relativity.  Essentially we are trying to model the universe mathematically and hoping to observe it by looking through  telescopes and using other sensors. Think of a simple example as of you in a room and you simply dance around for 30 minutes.  The relationship is then tracking your movements over the 30 min of time, then seeing if we can predict anything about your behavior(as the object).  There's tons of very theoretical math available, but it very difficult to follow w/o the background to start with.  For those of us who have studied the subjects of theortical mathematics, physics and astrophysics, and cosmology (studying the cosmos and its history) it can be extremely interesting.

No. Time is connected to space in our own definition. Time is based on earth's revolution around the sun, and rotation on its axis. so it is relevant only to our own perspective.

yes time is the 4th dimension and it is not constant time slows when speed increases eg if you could fly at or near the speed of light time would slow down for the pilots relative to people staying on earth

Time is the number of occurence of one event  relative to another event such as the number of earth revolutions around the sun relative to the number of revolutions of another planet, say Pluto, around the sun.

Time And Relative Dimension In Space

Here's some basic background covering how mathematical models of space and time have evolved since ancient times, from the Pythagorean Rule to Newtonian mechanics, Special Relativity and General Relativity.\nhttp://www.theory.caltech.edu/people/patricia/st101.html\n\nEinstein and Special Relativity give us a mathematical model for spacetime that reflects the observed behavior of Nature in that nothing can go faster than the speed of light. (At least not anything observed in a laboratory or in outer space as of yet.) \n\nIn Einstein's time they were already learning about differential geometry, but Einstein motivated this field of mathematics even more when he came up with an equation relating the curvature tensor of the spacetime distance function to the distribution of matter and energy in spacetime, encoded in a tensor Tuv called the stress-energy tensor. \n This equation is now called the Einstein equation: \nRuv - (1/2) guv R = (8 Pi G/c4) Tuv \n This equation (or actually, set of equations, for there is an equation for every combination of tensor indices u and v) models a lot of phenomena in the Universe that was impossible to describe with mathematics just using Newton's law of gravity. For example, observations of the bending of light by gravity, gravitational radiation emitted by pulsars, new observations of black holes and the observed expansion of the visible Universe can all be modelled rather successfully using this elegant formalism uncovered by Einstein.

Einstein showed, and it's been proven by countless experiments, that gravity causes distortions in space-time. A photon, and anything else for that matter, must follow the shape of space.

We live in a 3 demensional world, which means you can jump / move up and down (one demension), right and left (one demension) and forward and backwards (one demension)...which totals three. The fourth demension is considered to be time, because you can 'move' in time as well...which means you can not 'move' in space from Point A to Point B without spending 'time' doing that. In other words, you can not move in space without moving in time as well (It took me 9 seconds to move from my chair to the refrigerator and back)...therefore, time is the fourth demension.

The 4th dimension is time. It is essentially equivalent to "flat land" falling through the 3rd dimension.

The author Kurt Vonnegut once wrote that (I'm paraphrasing) units of time (moments, seconds, etc.) should be thought of not as connected points along a line, but rather like grains of soil in a mountain.  It's an interesting concept if you think about it.  One could move through time from one unit to another adjacent one without the ability to skip over one. Since each of us only exists in only one of them "at a time", so to speak, collectively we would be occupying all of them simultaneously.  It could explain where we "go to" when we are lost in thought, or how time seems to slow during some activities and speed up during others.  It might also help to understand the concept of multiple simultaneous dimensions. The notion of moving "ahead" through time is relative to your local frame of reference, just as "up" is relative to your local field of gravity and ceases to exist without a center of gravity.

If you tell someone that you are going to meet them somewhere, the information is useless unless you specify a time.  Any event's location is dependent on the four dimensions, 3 spatial and one temperal.  You can alter the way you move through time by altering the way you move through space (Einstein's theory of relativity), however time has a direction because of the second law of thermodynamics, disorder increases with time.  So in spatial dimensions you can stop or change directions.  This is not an option with time though.

Look at your watch.  That is the 4th dimension.  TIME>

In order to have space one must have time. In fact, I consider time to be the root dimension. Without time in which to percieve the universe, I cannot see how there could be a universe. Time and space are inextricably linked.

Anything you read about or see on TV or in a movie needs to have a place in space/time.  Time is done as either past (how far?), present, or future (how far?).  But space, for most of our time, is the surface of this planet.  So if you want to understand what's going on in a story, fact or fiction, you need to understand maps and the relationship of one space to another.  \n\nI recently bought a beautiful new Atlas by National Geographic.  Oh, Lord, do those people do a great job!  They put many different maps in for a given location, because there is so very much information that is mappable.  And being able to see where one piece of information is, physically, in relation to another, can be a great deal of wisdom added to your perception.  \n\nEverything else you learn is intimately related to its geographical position.

Space and time are a side effect of matter. This shows what ever caused space and time preceeds the movement of matter. That is as far back as physics can possiably see.\n\nYet God exsisted before space and time. Thus exsists outside of space and time. Thus all of these things are but an idea to God. But I say God sees us spiritually primarily. And may not even know what we look like beyond our spiriutal gripes about our selves.\n\nThat's why it is important to have a personal relationship with God. We have to put ourselves in a state of mind to be open to God,.. for Gods voice is subtle. It seems to merely hightlight thoughts in your mind. Yet powerful Christians, like Benny Hinn who hands out the Anointing of the Holy Spirit, will hear God more clearly. What ever gifts of God you have depends on what level you see God, I guess.

one does not exist IN the other, both are dimensions that we travel though, we are always moving though space and time. an analogy on the earth would be asking if the lines of latitude exsist in the grid of longitude or if latitude is the grid and longitude fits inside, there is no answer to that question, but we have no problem moving though latitude and longitude.
