Which definition corresponds to the phrase “all of space and time and their contents”?

• A. Transit
• B. Transmit
• C. Universe
• D. Yearly (annually)

Answer: (C)

The phrase “all of space and time and their contents” is naming the entire cosmos—the Universe. It includes every place and moment that exists, along with everything within it: all matter and energy, galaxies and planets, the laws of physics, and the fabric of space-time itself. In physics, space and time are intertwined, so the Universe is the totality of all that exists in space-time. The other terms don’t fit because transit refers to moving from one location to another, which is about movement rather than the whole of reality; transmit means to send something—like a signal or data—across space; yearly describes something that happens once every year, a time interval rather than the entirety of space-time.
