    Space is conceived as the three-dimensional extent in which objects have position and direction, though modern physics considers it with time as part of a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. The concept of space is fundamentally important to understanding the physical universe, though philosophers disagree on whether space is an entity, a relationship between entities, or a conceptual framework. Debates on the nature and existence of space date back to ancient Greek treatises and reflections on khôra or space.

    Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative

    position and direction.[1] Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although
    modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-
    dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of
    fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement
    continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities,
    or part of a conceptual framework.
    Debates concerning the nature, essence and the mode of existence of space date back to
    antiquity; namely, to treatises like the Timaeus of Plato, or Socrates in his reflections on what the
    Greeks called khôra (i.e. "space"), or in the Physics of Aristotle (Book IV, De
