| Space-time, philosophy: space time is a three-dimensional space with time as a fourth dimension. The fact that time is interpreted as a dimension distinguishes the space-time from multi-dimensional mathematical spaces, in which time plays no role and which are therefore structured differently. In particular, the space-time has no measure which can equally be used for spatial distances as well as for time measurements. See also relativity theory, four-dimensionalism, world lines._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Bernulf Kanitscheider on Space Time - Dictionary of Arguments
I 193 Spacetime section/Hyperface/Kanitscheider: to such a section, ( world map ) corresponds of course no observation date. An assumed observer would have to be able to visit all points at the same time. Instead, only a "world picture" is given to him and in this the distant parts are always given only at earlier moments (distance in light years). >Space-time/Einstein, >Relativity theory, >Space curvature/Kanitscheider._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
