How Geometry Can Help Visualize Spacetime and How Causality, Distance, and Time Are Related

PBS Space Time host Matt O'Dowd demonstrates how geometry can help visualize spacetime and explains how causality, distance, and time are related.

In this episode we dive deeper into the relationship between space and time and explore how we can geometrically map the causality of the universe and increase our understanding of how time and distance relate to one another.
