Space Time
In physics today our understanding of space time has been the result of 2 of the most important realisations in science. From 2 of the greatest minds that have ever considered the cosmos.
Newton's Theory of Gravitation.
Sir Issac Newton was the first man to put an understanding of gravity into mathematical formular. It was his contribution that made it possible for men to understand the motions of the heavens. His works on the thoery of gravitation was a milestone for science. This victory of human understanding paved the way for future scientists to challenge the unkown.
Einstein's Theory of General Relativity
It was Albert Einstein's work on the thoery of general relativity that
changed the way we think about space and time. Before the theory of
general relativity we thought of space and time as two seperate
entities. Both were thought to exist seperate from each other. But
Einstein changed this view with his assertions that space and time
should be thought of as a single entity space time.
