Resumen de SPACE against TIME

Anil Ananthaswamy

  • To Isaac Newton, space was the "sensorium of God", the organ through which the deity surveyed His creation. It was absolute, unchanging, and infinite. The theory of quantum mechanics, meanwhile, describes all the other forces and paints a peerless picture of the world at the smallest scales. When Einstein developed the theory of special relativity in 1905, it undid Newton's notions of a clockwork universe, in which objects in an absolute space followed the beat of a heavenly timepiece. Space and time are intertwined into one four-dimensional fabric called space-time. Here, Ananthaswamy discusses the general relativity of space and time.
