Abstract

Before Einstein, the world was regarded as a three-dimensional world with an absolute framework and capable of analysis down to three fundamental entities: matter, space and time. Einstein asserts that the world is neither three-dimensional nor set in an absolute frame. He regards time as any direction of a four-dimensional space-time. Matter he conceives as a pecularity in this space-time. He in fact postulates a qualitative relationship between time, space and matter as against their absolute independence previously believed in.
