Welcome to Wednesday Word(s) of the Week at beBee: WWW.beBee
For this week, I am contributing the word: before.
Einstein did not quite finish the job of presenting his theory of relativity as, what is referred to, the Fourth Dimension. Contrary to popular belief, he did not draw the conclusion that space and time could be seen as components of a single four-dimensional spacetime fabric. That insight came from Hermann Minkowski (1864-1909), who announced it in a 1908 colloquium with the dramatic words: "Henceforth space by itself, and time by itself, are doomed to fade away into mere shadows, and only a kind of union of the two will preserve an independent reality".
The word "before" holds both a meaning in time and place.
Time: During the period of time preceding (a particular event, date, or time).
Place: In front of.
Looks like language knew about the Fourth Dimension before Einstein and Minkowski.
Invitation: I invite you all to contribute your words. Please send me a message with your word, its definition and what it means to you by Monday. Looking forward to next week.
Quiero pediros e invitaros a enviarme una palabra que tenga un significado especial para tí.
