ABSTRACT
In this chapter we shall be concerned with space as it appears in classical physics. That is to say, we shall be concerned to find an “interpretation” (not necessarily the only possible one) for the geometrical terms used in physics. Much more complicated and difficult problems arise in regard to space than in regard to time. This is partly because of problems introduced by relativity. For the present, however, we will ignore relativity, and treat space as separable from time after the manner of pre-Einsteinian physics.
