Spacetime is a fundamental concept in physics that combines the three dimensions of space with the dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. This framework is essential for understanding the behavior of objects in the universe, particularly in the context of Einstein's theory of relativity. In classical physics, space and time were treated as separate entities; however, Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity (published in 1905) demonstrated that space and time are interwoven.
