"Space-Time:

The development of the theory of relativity has led to the disappearance of a clear-cut distinction between a three dimensional space and an independent time; in the modern view space and time are considered as being welded together in a four dimensional space-time continuum."

Webster's New 20th Century Dictionary:

"Space-Time. The four dimensional continuum involving the three dimensions of space and that of time, in which all things exist."
