Spacetime is an English word. Below you'll find 10+ example sentences showing how it's used in practice.
Spacetime meaning
- The four-dimensional continuum of the three spatial dimensions plus time.
- An n-dimensional continuum consisting of dimensions of both space and time. Normally spacetime is considered as having 4 dimensions (x, y, z, t), but higher-dimensional spacetimes are often encountered in theoretical physics, e.g. the 5-dimensional spacetime of Kaluza-Klein theory or the 11 dimensions of spacetime in M-theory.
- A specific region of the universe with mathematically different properties than the surrounding spacetime. Synonymous with "metric" within the context of general relativity.

Corpus analysis for Spacetime
- In this selection, "spacetime" usually appears in the middle of the sentence. The average example has 23.3 words, and this corpus slice is mostly made up of statements.
- Around the word, curved, flat, fixed, interval, background and itself stand out and add context to how "spacetime" is used.
- Recognizable usage signals include a flat spacetime and acting in spacetime einstein suggested. That gives this page its own corpus information beyond isolated example sentences.
- By corpus frequency, "spacetime" sits close to words such as alkaline, antifa and ascribed, which helps place it inside the broader word index.
