R A J A Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 we all, even Einstein say that space time is a fabric in which its curvature due to the mass is the gravity. Ya, I know that, but in reality, is this 'fabric system' possible? Because the real space is 3 dimensional and how could be space along with the time be a fabric of 2 dimesions?

Spyman Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 AFAIK spacetime is 4 dimensional, 3 spatial and 1 temporal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
questionposter Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) we all, even Einstein say that space time is a fabric in which its curvature due to the mass is the gravity. Ya, I know that, but in reality, is this 'fabric system' possible? Because the real space is 3 dimensional and how could be space along with the time be a fabric of 2 dimesions? Those little nets with indentations you see are just over-simplified mathematical models. In reality it's a little bit more complex, why is why you have things like string theory. We don't know exactly why it's possible, some people are trying to prove there is a Higg's boson which is supposedly the particle that causes mass, and it seems like proving that might conflict with the model of a gravitational well, but gravity will be gravity no matter what system is describing it, as long as all the end results are equal for all models describing it.

R A J A Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 but i think that the curve of gravity in space time fabric would be the contraction of space in and time in reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
