Minkowski Space is a mathematical framework used in physics to describe the four-dimensional structure of spacetime. It combines three dimensions of space with one dimension of time into a single continuum, allowing for a more comprehensive understanding of how objects move and interact in the universe. This concept is essential in the theory of special relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein. In Minkowski Space, distances are measured using a unique metric that accounts for both spatial and temporal intervals. This leads to the idea that time and space are interwoven, affecting how we perceive events. The geometry of Minkowski Space helps explain phenomena such as time dilation and the relativity of simultaneity.
