• Resumen

  • The article discusses challenges to physicist Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity which connects space and time. Einstein overturned Newton's notion that time is absolute, stating that time and space are woven together in a spacetime continuum. Topics include an overview of how a quantum gravity theory called Hořava gravity by physicist Petr Hořava, which separates time and space, is challenging Einstein's concept of spacetime.
