Space: Difference between revisions

*Physics tells us that space is interwoven with time, and the two should be considered as either one and the same or directly impacting each-other, as most physicists refer to the structure of existence as 'spacetime'. In traditional, Euclidian thinking, space has only three dimensions (height, width, and depth).  Using the concept of spacetime, existence then has a 'fourth dimension', creating what is called the 'spacetime continuum', which is often another way of stating the 'universe at large'.   

*This is, of course, the science-fiction way of looking at things. Generally speaking it's a lot more complicated than that, but whenever the 'space-time continuum' is mentioned, they are generally referring to the Universe in general.

*Early ''Doctor Who'' material was also far less technical that it has since become, often using technobabble and inaccurate descriptions under the pretense that most viewers wouldn't understand anyway.{{fact}} For example, in ''[[An Unearthly Child]]'', Susan Foreman states that in addition to the three dimensions used in a math problem, you must also use a fourth, time, and a fifth, which she says is space. However, space is made up of the first three dimensions, meaning that her description of the problem was totally wrong.
