How Space and Time Form Spacetime - Understanding the 4D Universe
Offered By: Arvin Ash via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the concept of spacetime in this 16-minute video that delves into how space and time can be part of the same thing. Learn about Hermann Minkowski's postulation of time as a fourth dimension and Einstein's demonstration of spacetime as a bendable geometry. Understand the mathematics behind spacetime, including the difference between Euclidean and Minkowskian geometry. Discover why the speed of light is crucial in uniting space and time, and examine the reasons for our universe having three spatial dimensions and one time dimension. Gain insights into the implications of combining space and time, and find out how to deepen your understanding of this fundamental concept in physics.
