There has been a disagreement as to whether Einstein felt that there was a difference between space and space time. To quote the article: > Consider: The average person has no >idea of the difference between space and space time. In fact, according to >Einstein, there is no difference, if I remember correctly. >Mike Stalnaker >UUCP: seismo!vrdxhq!mws >ARPA: vrdxhq!mws@seismo.css.gov Would someone out there like to try and explain to this average person (and any others who are interested :v >) whether this difference exists and if so what is it? Thank you in advance. [============================================================================] Signed : Dan (averag person) Donahue
