space-timein a sentence
- Objects, whether planets or apples, fall or orbit, not because of a gravitational energy, but because they plummet into the silky folds of spacetime—like into the ripples on a pond—created by those of higher mass.† (source)
- And added to the four dimensions at the macro scale, fundamental particles exist within an eleven-dimensional space-time.† (source)
- He'd never wanted to hurt anyone, not seriously, not in real space-time.† (source)
- Primal light exploded, splattering space-time as with gobbets of Jell-O. Time blossomed, matter shrank away.† (source)
- They can build buildings, parks, signs, as well as things that do not exist in Reality, such as vast hovering overhead light shows, special neighborhoods where the rules of three-dimensional spacetime are ignored, and free-combat zones where people can go to hunt and kill each other.† (source)
- I approached a young man, a stocky fellow with a mailman's cap and beer belly, wearing a down vest, and he looked at me as if I didn't belong in his space-time dimension but had crossed over illegally, made a rude incursion.† (source)
- Vlad wagered it had to do with the space-time continuum or a cruel joke played by Fate.† (source)
- Gravity is just a warp in space-time.† (source)
- They rather remind me of space-time theory.† (source)
- "Is this sword now present the direct successor in space-time sequential change, aside from theoretical anomalies involved in between-universe transitions, of the sword used to loll the Never-Born?"† (source)
- Spacetime is independent of any observer, but observers can use different coordinate systems when describing it. For example, atomic clocks onboard a Space Shuttle run slower than synchronized Earth-bound clocks.

- Bulges appeared in the fabric of space-time.† (source)
- Space-time distortion, but I'm no mathematician.† (source)
- Now there's a space to be filled, in the too-warm air of my room, and a time also; a space-time, between here and now and there and then, punctuated by dinner.† (source)
- The bit that Newton lacked was the effect on planetary orbit from the gravitationally induced curvature of space-time described by general relativity.† (source)
- They're afraid to release the stats because people might just give up, but take it from me, we're running out of space-time.† (source)
- For instance, at the very moment that Arthur said, "I seem to be having tremendous difficulty with my life-style," a freak wormhole opened up in the fabric of the space-time continuum and carried his words far far back in time across almost infinite reaches of space to a distant Galaxy where strange and warlike beings were poised on the brink of frightful interstellar battle.† (source)
- Adding the correction factor for perturbation from space-time curvature to the classical equations would yield the right mathematical model.† (source)
- Space-time is what we live in.† (source)
- Or does it even make sense to use the word before, since time cannot exist without space and space-time without events and events without matter-energy?† (source)
- He says space-time is curved and that in curved space-time the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line but a line following the curve.† (source)
- Any nineteenth century physicist could have given unassailable reasons why atom bombs were impossible if his reason were not affronted at the question; any twentieth century physicist could explain why time travel was incompatible with the real world of space-time.† (source)
- Theoretically it was possible to match two points in contra-rotation, twisting the insubstantial fabric of space-time in exact step with "real' motions; practically such a solution was not only terribly wasteful of energy but almost unworkable— the ground surface beyond the gate tended to skid away like a slidewalk and tilt at odd angles.† (source)
