spacetime reference frame

    Caption: A reference frame laid over spacetime (space and time considered jointly).

    Spacetime is a common jargon in relativity speak: i.e., the jargon of relativistic physics (combined special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1915)).

    The clocks in the image illustrate the time dimension.
