Space time does not exist, but it’s a useful framework to understand our reality

Whether the space is present, “space time,” “events” and “quick” definitions, should not be controversial nor imaginary challenging. The idea that space time exists is no more viable than an outdated belief that there is a heavenly circle: both are the hubby center models that are powerful and easy to describe the world, but neither represent the truth.

Nevertheless, from the point of view of the topics familiar in modern physics, philosophy, popular science communication and science fiction, it is controversial, saying that space time does not exist.

But what will it mean for this world where what has happened so far or somehow “exists” as part of a woven fabric is “present”?

Events are not locations

It is easy to imagine past events – such as losing teeth or receiving good news – exists somewhere. The fantasy representation of the Time Travel indicates: Time passengers change events and interrupt the timeline, as past and future events were places that could be found with the right technology.

Philosophers often talk like this. Eternal religion says all incidents of all time are there. There is a past and present with the growing blockview when the future is. Presentism says that the present exists, while the past was present and when this happened, the future helped it. And the general relationship offers a four-dimensional continuity that shows twist and curves-we imagine that the continuation of events is really present.

The confusion comes from the definition of the word “exist”. Over time, it is applied illegally to the description of the mathematics of events. This model is to transform into an anti -theory on the nature of existence.

A complete

In physics, space time is a permanent set of events that occurs over time and time. It is a four -dimensional map that records and measures it where and when everything happens. In physics, an incident occurs an immediate event at a particular place and time.

There is a three -dimensional combination of an immediate separate events that occur “at the same time” (with a normal warning that depends on one’s relative condition at the same time).

Space time is the full status of all the events that ever happen.

It is also our most powerful way of listing the events around the world. This catalog is inevitable, but the words and concepts we use for it.

There are many points in the three dimensions of the place, and every time it passes, there is a unique event everywhere.

Positioning all over time

Physicians explain a car that travels straight at a permanent speed with space -time diagrams: position on one axis, time on the other. Stack together to create two -dimensional space time. The car’s position is a point within every moment, and those points join the World Line. This is a complete record of the car position during the interval, which has a slope of the car.

The real movement is far more complicated. The car revolves around the sun on a rotating earth, which rotates in the local universe as soon as she rotates. Four -dimensional space time is eventually needed to plot the car’s position immediately.

There is a space map where and when events occur. The World Line is the record of every event that takes place in one life. The important question is whether the map – or all the events draw together together – it should be said the same way as cars, people and those places.

Items exist

Consider what “exist” means. Items, buildings, people, cities, planets, galaxies are present. They are either places or occupying places, which bear there at intervals of time. They remain through changes and can be repeatedly encountered.

Treating events as things that smuggling confusion into our language and ideas. When you analyze space time, are events, quick, globally or even space times like places and people in the same way? Or is it more correct to say that events occur in the present world?

In this idea, space is the map that records the events that allow us to describe the local and timely relations between them.

Space time does not exist

There are no events, they are. As a result, there is no space time. Events occur everywhere during existence, and the presence of an event is clearly different from the existence of anything – whether it is object, place or imagination.

First of all, there is no experimental evidence that things around the world around us have such a past, present or future event. To confirm the existence of an event as an ongoing item, something like a time machine will now be required to observe it. Even the current events cannot be confirmed as the ongoing things that exist.

On the contrary, there are material items. Time Travel Paradox relys on a false basis that events exist as re -visible locations. Recognizing the clear difference between the event and the existence, it solves these contradictions.

Second, this identity denies the philosophy of time. During the last century, too much debate has considered events like things that exist. Then the philosophers focus on their strained qualities: is an event past, present or future? Did it happen before or after that?

These discussions depend on the assumption that events are the things that bear these features. From there, this is a short step on the conclusion that time is unrealistic or time is a illusion, on the identity that the same event can be labeled in a different way. But in the beginning, anti -discrimination is gone: there are no events, they are. Stress and discipline are characterized by what events in the present world are concerned, not existing items.

Finally, consider the relationship. It is a mathematical theory that describes the continuity of four -dimensional space -time, and there is no theory about the four -dimensional thing that exists.

Concentrated explanation

Physics, in fact, cannot describe space time as something that exists in reality, nor can it calculate a change that can be experienced as an existing thing.

Space time provides a powerful explanation about the events of events: how they are arranged to each other, how the series of events is measured to come out and how the length is measured in different reference frames. If we stop saying that events-and space-time exist, we recover conceptual explanation without a single prediction.
