Eyewitness: Time and Space
More information on
Eyewitness Books
Space is what we move around in, in three dimensions, left and right,
forwards and backwards, up and down. We can move around in space from one
place to another. Time is less controllable. We seem to move forward through
it - whether we like it or not. We cannot go back to the past, nor can we
jump forward to the future. Scientists describe time as the fourth
dimension, and combine time and space as one entity called space time.
Featuring stunning photographs of historical scientific apparatus,
experiments, and innovative 3-D models, Time & Space is a unique
and exciting introduction to the discoveries and research that have
transformed our understanding of the universe.
