Space-time compression The reduction in time it takes for something to reach another place Distant places seem less remote and more accessible to us. We know more about what’s happening in the world, and we know sooner.
Space-Time Compression, Fig. 1-20: The times required to cross the Atlantic, or orbit the earth, illustrate how transport improvements have shrunk the world.
