Question: What is spacetime? I read the book 'Relativity' by Sir Albert Einstein himself but, it was a little tough for me to understand. I could understand Lorentz Transformation but couldn't get an intuition on spacetime. I don't even know what is time actually. I could understand that time and space are the same. They get converted from one to another like potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy during the fall of an apple from a tree and nothing more. Why is it very difficult to understand relativity? Is it natural for a boy in high school who has not studied physics in depth? What does it mean by saying that space and time are the same?
