Time and Space, how much are they connected?

Moreso than any other two things are connected.

Look at it in terms of something simpler – like the X dimension and the Z dimension… without one the other is incomplete.

They are connected by a continuum. the Space-Time Continuum.

And by Fabric. The Fabric of the Universe.

They are not connected, they are a single phenomenon, called spacetime.

You are quite right, space and time are fundamentally innked, each being meaningless without the other. We live in a 4-dimensional Universe. Tear out one dimension, and maybe you get Flatland, but you don’t get our Universe.

What @dpworkin said.

@dpworkin and beat me to it. General Relativity shows that gravity is basically caused by warping spacetime.

I think we understand but a fraction of space/time.
How could we possibly try
to understand a period of time we haven’t experienced ourselves?

My brain hurts.

Well, space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to space….

Ow.

Sis Says: Space is turtles all the way down. (she also says you won’t get that reference.)

Of course we get that reference. It’s as old as Methuselah.

@ChaosCross: read one of Stephen J. Hawkings’ Brief History of Time or any popular work that discusses the general and special theory of relativity. these will explain. on Fluther, though, people who don’t know about science will attempt to give speculative or philosophical guesses to questions about science.

They’re both fun ways to go zooooom

I like cheese.

they’re the same thing
you should look at the forces they act the same for space and time(Gravity deforms space and it also deforms time)

I like cheese too.

Time and space are not the quite the same, though there are some apparent similarities..

Time can only exist within space,
But space exist without the aid of any.

Time acts as a mediator.between the two the past and future
and by that it is temporal in itself.

Time can only exist as cycles and have the appearance of endlessness,
but it is not, It merely link the two extremes, the past and the future as long as these remain disjointed time reigns.

But when these the meets, Time vanishes for it has united to itself and become the present, the now. It has become “all time” and “no time”, and these two are the same.

Time is the product of gravity upon Space, and whereever within space that gravity affects, there you have time.

The greater the effect of gravity. the smaller the cycles of time, This is when time is short, the lesser the effect of gravity the cycles are longer and time lengthens. This will not be noticed by those within time.
For time affect all within itself in equal proportion, thus to those things within, all would remain the same, since the co-relation among themselves will not change.

Space is that which is established without limits without any boundaries.
It is the universe, and it structure is made up of many exactly like itself.
All united as one yet each a single self sustaining unit.
this is why the one and the all are call Life

Space merely uses time in order to replicate and increase itself unto greater perfection.

This perfection is not manifested in size, but in brilliance as in a light.
