    1) In 1905, Albert Einstein published his special theory of relativity which established that space and time are interwoven into a single continuum known as spacetime. 2) Einstein subsequently developed his general theory of relativity which proposed that gravity does not manifest as a force but rather as a curvature of spacetime itself. 3) Modern mathematics defines spaces as sets with additional structures, often described as manifolds that locally approximate Euclidean space. Physics views our three-dimensional space as embedded within four-dimensional spacetime.
