When the idea of absolute time is abandoned, every body moving relative to another must have its own time specification as well as length, breadth, and thickness. Thus time becomes a fourth dimension added to the three dimensions of space. The consequences of the theory, when worked out mathematically, are that absolute motion, absolute mass and absolute dimensions must also be shelved. When a body is in motion relative to an observer, he would see (if he had instruments fine enough) that its length in the direction of motion is shortened, that its mass is increased. The increased mass must...

Universe? At present, Einstein does not know whether the universe is finite or infinite. The Relativistic picture of the cosmos is a four-dimensional sphere-or, more exactly, a "hypersphere," since an ordinary sphere can have only three dimensions. The hypersphere is curved, so it must close back on itself and therefore be finite-but only if the curvature is positive. It may be negative, that is, somewhat less curved than a straight line. Negative curvature, which in mathematics simply involves a minus sign, cannot of course be visualized; but if such is the shape of the hypersphere, the universe...
