What is the time-space continuum?
To put it in very simple terms, the space-time continuum is our universe. When most people think of dimensions, they only think in terms of spacial dimensions (up-down, right-left, forward-backward). These are the dimensions through which we have a certain limited amount of control over our movement. However, there is another dimension through which we have no control of our movement, time. Excluding relativistic effects, time just keeps moving forward. We can’t slow, stop, or reverse it, but it is something with which we must deal. Whenever we describe an object’s place in the universe, there is a time factor involved as well as a spacial location. For example, if I give some one my address, that assumes that I am living at that address right now. It’s not the same address at which I was living just a year ago. So, space and time are both parts of our universe. However, since most people tend not to think about time in this context, the term space-time continuum was coined as a means
The Fabric of the Cosmos by Brian Greene, the time-space continuum is a time/space loaf. If you sliced a cross-section in the loaf, perpendicular to time’s flow, you have a sampling of everything that is happening in the universe at this moment. You are watching tv, and an alien is 5 galaxies away is watching tv. However, if the alien gets up to cross the room to grab the tv remote, his velocity has changed the time/space slice diagonally. And now he shares the present moment relative to our space with Abraham Lincoln. That is a cross-reference index of that comparitve distance (5 galaxies apart) with that relative velocity (5 mph walking over to get the remote control). So the speed of a slow stroll amplifies outward to huge differences when comparing vast distances in the time/space continuum. Since the universe is vast and everything is in motion, you can see how the concept of time gets a little mooshy. Nevertheless, this is how I picture the time/space continuum.
space and time continuum to keep it simple time it self is jest time thir are time line like 10 year time line to 100 year it vaers to 1 or 2 years time line yes you could use energy mass and a lot of it but you could end up eneyware at eney time so but if you had a machine that could control time it self os to speek you could fast- forword time in to fucher or revers back to the past so this may or may not ancer your question I hope it help thoe
