Since the days of Ancient Greece, philosophers and scientists have been wondering: What is space? Is the absence of things… a thing? These questions continued to fascinate physicists in the modern era, leading Isaac Newton, Ernst Mach, and Albert Einstein to wonder about the true nature of the fabric of the cosmos. The search for an answer led them to some of the greatest theories in physics. This week, we ask if space and time are really real, and how they come together to make “spacetime”!

Space? That's just, like, your perspective… Tell us what you thought of this week's video!
-
But... What is a "thing"? *music from Vsauce*
-
I have never seen a 3D graph of space-time like that before. I like it.
-
Joe: and now its empty Michael: Or is it? Vsause music starts playing
-
someone GOT TO MAKE that color changing Einstein graphic into animated GIF.. please!
-
That Albert Einstein graphic is life
-
God damn, that was fantastic.
-
That Einstein guitar solo tho 🤘🏽
-
I appreciate how this channel factors in the relatively short attention soan of people and constantly bombards us with changing images and graphics
-
that graph showing relation between space and time was helpful to understand spacetime, great work as usual
-
What's the Einstein "theme"? It sounds totally wicked, bro
-
6:18. To be honest, this is the first time I truly understood what spacetime means and what gravity actually is (according to modern physics and Einstein... it may change). I feel like an idiot, but I have to say something. Thanks for another awesome video
-
"Is space a thing?" Well yes but actually no
-
can we please have that Einstein gif?
-
But the real question is.. If crabs walk on the ocean floor, when they look up, do they see flying fish?
-
1:03 "It all has to do with relativity" ROCK METAL MUSIC! RAINBOWS ALBERT EINSTEIN! SCIENCE! PHYSICS BOOM!!! BOOM!!!! !!!!BOOM!!!!
-
It's mee
-
I was following along until he started talking about spacetime
-
Albert Einstein was kind of a rockstar. I mean he was a celebrity scientist and he even had groupies lol.

6:53 DOCTOR WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
