( uncountable , physics ) four-dimensional continuum of the three spatial dimensions plus time .
An event is a point in spacetime , specified by the coordinates x , y , z , and t .
( physics ) n -dimensional continuum consisting of dimensions of both space and time . Normally spacetime is considered as having 4 dimensions (x , y , z , t ), but higher-dimensional spacetimes are often encountered in theoretical physics , e.g. the 5-dimensional spacetime of Kaluza-Klein theory or the 11 dimensions of spacetime in M-theory .
