The program consists of a set of five core courses (see details below). There is no research requirement nor is a thesis required to obtain the degree.

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.

According to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity, space around gravitational fields deviates from Euclidean space.^[4] Experimental tests of general relativity have confirmed that non-Euclidean geometries provide a better model for the shape of space.]]> 2018-01-24 20:18:46 UTC https://padlet.com/nathanale_troutman/xpfwqij36h0e/wish/224431066 nathanale_troutman https://padlet.com/nathanale_troutman/xpfwqij36h0e/wish/224431272 In the seventeenth century, the philosophy of space and time emerged as a central issue in epistemology and metaphysics. At its heart, Gottfried Leibniz, the German philosopher-mathematician, and Isaac Newton, the English physicist-mathematician, set out two opposing theories of what space is. Rather than being an entity that independently exists over and above other matter, Leibniz held that space is no more than the collection of spatial relations between objects in the world: "space is that which results from places taken together".^[5] Unoccupied regions are those that could have objects in them, and thus spatial relations with other places.]]> 2018-01-24 20:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/nathanale_troutman/xpfwqij36h0e/wish/224431272
