| Summary: | The article discusses Chanda Prescod-Weinstein's experience seeking endorsements for her new book, "The Edge of Space-Time," and the complexities surrounding the terminology of "space-time" versus "spacetime." The author reflects on the grammatical implications of the hyphen, suggesting that it may indicate a distinction between the two concepts or imply a new, unified phenomenon. Prescod-Weinstein explores the historical context of how space and time have been understood in physics, particularly referencing the work of Stephen Hawking and George F. R. Ellis. Ultimately, she expresses uncertainty about her own stance on the terminology, acknowledging the nuanced relationship between space, time, and their combined concept.
