The Idea of Spacetime in Conceptual Knowledge

Conceptual knowledge provides comprehensive definition of concepts in the worldview. Concepts evolve as time passes. Capturing the changes in conceptual definitions has been at the forefront of research for quite sometime. The idea of time has always been presumed to be a separate dimension i.e. the fourth dimension that is said to concomitantly move along with the spatial dimensions. But the very notion of time has been questioned in the theory of special relativity whose offshoot is the Spacetime continuum where space and time are fused together into a four dimensional Spacetime. This paper highlights the impact of Spacetime on conceptual knowledge and introduces the four dimensional Minkowski space which can serve as an alternative ground for conceptual knowledge.
