==Description==
==Description==
The '''past''' is contrasted with the [[present]]. It is also regarded as the conglomerate of [[events]] that happened in a certain point in [[time]], within the [[Space-time]] [[continuum]]. The aforementioned conception is closely related to [[Albert Einstein]]'s [[theory]] of [[relativity]]. The past is the object of [[study]] in such fields as [[history]], [[archaeology]], archaeoastronomy, chronology, [[geology]], (historical geology), historical [[linguistics]], [[law]], paleontology, paleobotany, paleoethnobotany, palaeogeography, paleoclimatology, and [[cosmology]].
