  2. Time–space compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timespace_compression

    Timespace compression (also known as space–time compression and timespace distanciation) is an idea referring to the altering of the qualities of space–time and the relationship between space and time that is a consequence of the expansion of capital. It is rooted in Karl Marx 's notion of the "annihilation of space by time ...

  3. Spacetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime

    t. e. In physics, spacetime is a mathematical model that fuses the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time into a single four-dimensional continuum. Spacetime diagrams are useful in visualizing and understanding relativistic effects such as how different observers perceive where and when events occur.

  4. Data compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_compression

    Data compression is subject to a space-time complexity trade-off. For instance, a compression scheme for video may require expensive hardware for the video to be decompressed fast enough to be viewed as it is being decompressed, and the option to decompress the video in full before watching it may be inconvenient or require additional storage.

  5. Special relativity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_relativity

    t. e. In physics, the special theory of relativity, or special relativity for short, is a scientific theory of the relationship between space and time. In Albert Einstein 's 1905 treatment, the theory is presented as being based on just two postulates: [p 1] [1] [2] The laws of physics are invariant (identical) in all inertial frames of ...

  6. Space–time tradeoff - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_tradeoff

    A space–time trade-off, also known as time–memory trade-off or the algorithmic space-time continuum in computer science is a case where an algorithm or program trades increased space usage with decreased time. Here, space refers to the data storage consumed in performing a given task ( RAM, HDD, etc.), and time refers to the time consumed ...

    Its compression garment resembles a space suit and sells for around $1,000 for a legs-only version. The full-body version costs about $1,900. Before you purchase a compression device for home use ...

  8. Spinal Cord Compression: Definition and Patient Education

    Compression can occur over time in other instances. The causes of spinal cord compression include the following: Certain degenerative diseases, such as arthritis, can lead to spinal cord compression.

  9. Time dilation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation

    Time dilation. Time dilation is the difference in elapsed time as measured by two clocks, either because of a relative velocity between them ( special relativity ), or a difference in gravitational potential between their locations ( general relativity ). When unspecified, "time dilation" usually refers to the effect due to velocity.
