Definition. A metric space is a set X together with a function d (called a metric or distance function) which assigns a real number d (x, y) to every pair x, y X satisfying the properties (or axioms): 1  d (x, y) 0 and d (x, y) = 0 x = y, 2  d (x, y) = d (y, x), 3  d (x, y) + d (y, z) d (x, z).
An illustration of the space-time curvature caused by Earth. Space-time is a mathematical model that joins space and time into a single idea called a continuum. This four-dimensional continuum is known as Minkowski space. Combining these two ideas helped cosmology to understand how the universe works on the big level (e.g. galaxies) and small level (e.g. atoms).
