Space is what we move around in, in three dimensions, left and right, forwards and backwards, up and down. We can move around in space from one place to another. Time is less controllable. We seem to move forward through it - whether we like it or not. We cannot go back to the past, nor can we jump forward to the future. Scientists describe time as the fourth dimension, and combine time and space as one entity called spacetime. Price: £9.99
