Space time and Spin
Many of nature’s deepest mysteries
come in threes. Why does space have three spatial dimensions (ones that
we can see, anyway)? Why are there three fundamental dimensions in
physics (mass M, length L and time T)? Why three fundamental constants
in nature (Newton’s gravitational constant G, the speed of light c and
Planck’s constant h)? Why three generations of fundamental particles in
the standard model (e.g. the up/down, charm/strange and top/bottom
quarks)? Why do black holes have only three properties—mass, charge and
spin? Nobody knows the answers to these questions, nor how or whether
they may be connected. But some have sought for clues in the last-named
of these properties: spin.

Kip Thorne discusses the significance of GP-B for astrophysics & cosmology
In physics, spacetime is any mathematical model that combines space and time into a single interwoven continuum. Since 300 BCE, the spacetime of our universe has historically been interpreted from a Euclidean space perspective, which regards space as consisting of three dimensions, and time as consisting of one dimension, the “fourth dimension”. By combining space and time into a single manifold called Minkowski space in 1905, physicists have significantly simplified a large number of physical theories, as well as described in a more uniform way the workings of the universe at both the supergalactic and subatomic levels.
