The Fascinating Relationship Between Time and Space: Exploring the Concept of Spacetime in Physics and Quantum Mechanics

JAKARTA – Did you know that time is not independent of space? Rather it is part of a unified entity called space-time. Spacetime is a four-dimensional continuum that describes the geometry of the universe.

According to Physics Astronomy, in space-time, there is no absolute present, past, or future.

“But only events that occur at different locations and times, relative to one another. The sequence and duration of these events may vary depending on the frame of reference,” the page wrote, quoted Monday (10/4/2023).

One of the main arguments, that time does not exist, comes from quantum physics, which is the branch of science that studies the behavior of subatomic particles.

Quantum physics reveals that the world at the smallest scale is probabilistic and uncertain. This means that events have no definite outcome, until they are observed.

“This implies that there is no objective or historical reality that is independent of observation,” he explained.

Furthermore, quantum physics shows that there is no fundamental difference between the past and the future, but only a correlation between events.
