Imagine a trampoline. Place a bowling ball (the Sun) in the middle, and it creates a dip. A marble (Earth) rolls around the curve of that dip. That curvature is what we perceive as gravity. ⏳ Why It Matters Today
This isn't just "heady" math; it’s baked into our daily lives. Space, Time and Einstein
Understanding spacetime allows scientists to trace the expansion of the universe back to its very beginning. Imagine a trampoline
If you move faster, time actually slows down for you compared to someone standing still. The Speed Limit: This happens because the speed of light ( ) is the absolute speed limit of the universe. That curvature is what we perceive as gravity
Before Einstein, Isaac Newton’s view ruled: time was a universal clock ticking at the same rate for everyone. Einstein shattered this by proving that .
The core idea behind Einstein’s work is that The Death of Absolute Time
