According to Newton's view, space and time were defined as absolute and independent of matter or motion. Space was seen as a three-dimensional matrix where objects could be placed or move through without interacting. Each object existed at a particular point in space and time. However, Einstein's theory of relativity challenged these views, redefining our understanding of space and time as relative to the observer's motion.

Introduction of Theory of Relativity: We are familiar with the word motion'.
In every day life we see the motion
of several objects around us. If we have been asked to define motion we would say change of position with time. In an attempt to define motion we have used two concepts space (position) and time. By our intuition, we know what is space and time and these are defined as follows according to Newton's view. Space is absolute, in the sense that it exists permanently and independently whether any matter in the space or moving through it. Thus space is a sort of three dimensions matrix into which one can place objects or through which objects can move without producing any interaction between space and object. Each object in the universe exists at a particular point in space at a particular time. An object in....
