Space, in everyday language, is something that we all know. It is measured in the three dimensions of distance: length, width, and height. In modern physics, space is a "boundless four-dimensional continuum" known as spacetime. Disagreement exists about whether it is an entity (something that actually exists). It may be just a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework. The standard space interval, called a metre (or meter), is defined as the distance traveled by light in a vacuum during a time interval of about 1/300,000,000 of a second. Before Einstein's work on relativistic physics, time and space were viewed as independent dimensions. Einstein's discoveries have shown that due to relativity of motion space and time can be mathematically combined into spacetime.

These lines are still spoken today, by speakers of every language, in the original Latin. Poetry.

In physics, a physical object (or body) is a collection of masses, which you look at as one object only. It applies to both living and non-living things. A human's and animal's physical body is made up of organs and tissues. It is a part of a total living being, and might include its behaviour and way of thinking. The point of the term is to include those systems which are separate in one sense. but connected in another sense. A galaxy has many different parts, but can be treated as a whole for some purposes. Likewise, a group of galaxies can be treated as one gravitationally. The Solar System is another example. In general language it is usual for "object" to mean a physical boundary {border}, but a "system" to mean a group of connected objects.
