In physics, space is defined as a coordinate?s system where you can locate an object. In classical physics the space is a three coordinates euclidean? system (x,y,z). In relativistic physics the space is defined as a four coordinates system (x,y,z,t). The fourth coordinate is time.
In physics, space is defined as a [coordinate system]? where you can locate an object. In classical physics the space is a three-coordinate euclidean? system (x,y,z). In relativistic physics, one talks about spacetime rather than about space; spacetime is modeled as a four-dimensional manifold.
