More About spacetime

Long ago, smart folks found out about spacetime. They saw that space and time are not just one thing. They are linked, like best friends. This helped them make new ideas about how the world works.

Spacetime is all around us. It helps us plan our day. When we say we will go to school at 8 AM, we use spacetime. It tells us when to be where.

In the future, we may learn even more! Maybe we will find new stars or planets. Spacetime will help us understand them better.
