  2. Spacetime diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_diagram

    A spacetime diagram is a graphical illustration of locations in space at various times, especially in the special theory of relativity.Spacetime diagrams can show the geometry underlying phenomena like time dilation and length contraction without mathematical equations.

  3. Spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

    A spacetime diagram is typically drawn with only a single space and a single time coordinate. Fig. 2-1 presents a spacetime diagram illustrating the world lines (i.e. paths in spacetime) of two photons, A and B, originating from the same event and going in opposite directions. In addition, C illustrates the world line of a slower-than-light ...

  4. World line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_line

    However, it arrives there at a different (later) time. The world line of the Earth is therefore helical in spacetime (a curve in a four-dimensional space) and does not return to the same point. Spacetime is the collection of events, together with a continuous and smooth coordinate system identifying the events. Each event can be labeled by four ...

  5. Spatiotemporal database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spatiotemporal_database

    SpaceTime is a commercial spatiotemporal database built on top of the proprietary multidimensional index similar to the kd-tree family, but created using the bottom-up approach and adapted to particular space-time distribution of data. [5] In a study conducted by Ericsson, SpaceTime significantly outperformed GeoMesa. [6]

  6. Software engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_engineering

    Software engineering is a field within computer science and a branch of engineering focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining of software applications. It involves applying engineering principles and computer programming expertise to develop software systems that meet user needs.

  7. Spacetime (disambiguation) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_(disambiguation)

    Complex spacetime, a theoretical extension of spacetime into complex-valued space and time coordinates; Spacetime diagram, a diagram in the theory of relativity; Space time (chemical engineering), a unit or measure of reaction time

  8. Category:Spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Spacetime

    In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single continuum. By doing so, physicists have significantly simplified a large number of physical theories, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.

  9. Spacetime topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_topology

    Spacetime topology is the topological structure of spacetime, a topic studied primarily in general relativity. This physical theory models gravitation as the curvature of a four dimensional Lorentzian manifold (a spacetime) and the concepts of topology thus become important in analysing local as well as global aspects of spacetime.
