Reading Comprehension
This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet
the difficulty lies more in the wording than the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a
four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by
''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous, A ruler, for
10 example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and
fractions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of an inch.
A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a train can
describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a
milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea
is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by which sailor fixes his positions
20 in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and longitude. An airplane pilot guides his
plane through a three - dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude
and longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot
constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a three-
dimensional continuum.
25 Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical event, which
involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an
accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago express, one must mention not only
that it goes from New - York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also
the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be done either by means of a
30 timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted
horizontally on a piece of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a
diagonal line properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two -
dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most
newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two -
35 dimensional dollar - time continuum. Similarly for the best picturization of the flight of an
airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is
essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of
the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension.
If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a
40 series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and
perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time continuum curve.
