In [[physics]], '''spacetime''' is any [[mathematical model]] that combines [[space]] and [[time]] into a single construct called the '''spacetime [[continuum]]'''.  Spacetime is usually interpreted with space being three-dimensional and time playing the role of a fourth dimension that is of a different sort than the spatial dimensions. According to certain Euclidean space [[perception]]s, the [[universe]] has three [[dimension]]s of [[space]] and one dimension of time. By combining space and time into a single manifold, physicists have significantly simplified a large number of physical theories, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.
