The process, made possible by technological innovations in transportation and communication, by which distant places are brought closer together in terms of the time taken to travel (or send messages) between them
Time–space compression (also known as space–time convergence) is a term used to describe processes that seem to accelerate the experience of time and reduce the significance of distance during a given historical moment
Time-space compression is a term used to describe processes that seem to accelerate the experience of time and reduce the significance of distance during a given historical moment. Geographer David Harvey used the term in The Condition of Postmodernity, where it refers to "processes that . . . revolutionize the objective qualities of space and time"

four-dimensional world of space and time as visualized in the theory of relativity An event is located in the space-time continuum analogous to a point in three-dimensional space
The purpose of space-time, in the context of this paradigm, is to allow the one to manifest as many One electron manifests as many individual electrons One mind manifests as many individual minds
Physics: place of observable phenomena The space-time is the phenomena container, according to their extension or quantity aspect (spatial part) and to their duration one (time part) human sees it as a three dimensions' space and a one dimension' time Esotericism: place of the life manifestation in the "Shape" The space-time is the container for the quantitative and qualitative cyclic manifestation of the life in the shape
Single entity that relates space and time in a four-dimensional structure, postulated by Albert Einstein in his theories of relativity. In the Newtonian universe it was supposed that there was no connection between space and time. Space was thought to be a flat, three-dimensional arrangement of all possible point locations, which could be expressed by Cartesian coordinates; time was viewed as an independent one-dimensional concept. Einstein showed that a complete description of relative motion requires equations that include time as well as the three spatial dimensions. He also showed that space-time is curved, which allowed him to account for gravitation in his general theory of relativity
A four-dimensional space used to represent the universe in the theory of relativity, with three dimensions corresponding to ordinary space and the fourth to time Also known as space-time continuum See more about this in the FAQ section
A concise way of referring to the understanding of the universe as an entity composed of inextricably interwoven space and time; a conception based especially on the theories of Albert Einstein In this view of the universe, anything that happens to alter the condition of space also affects the conditions of time, and vice versa
