Abstract

Space and time are concepts that seem to be embedded in our very consciousness. As we grow up, our 'intuitive understanding' of these concepts seems to grow as well. And yet the fact is that our understanding of space-time in the deepest scientific sense is far from complete, although we have covered a considerable distance along the route. There may still be many surprises awaiting us on the road ahead.
