| Summary: | The article discusses the concept of relativity and the fourth dimension. Relativity has been defined as the state of being relative, which would appear self-evident. In relation to philosophy, relativity denotes a state of close dependence on another, so that its removal would entail the destruction of its dependents. Particular focus is given on the relationship between time and eternity, as well as to Albert Einstein's theory that time is a fourth dimension of measurement. |
