idea

event, notion that became of singular importance in the philosophical speculation about relativity physics. The best-known analyses are those of the 20th-century English philosopher Bertrand Russell, for whom event replaced the vaguer notion of body, and the 20th-century English philosopher Alfred North Whitehead, for whom events were formed by a nexus of actual occasions. In general, in both views an event is that which occurs at a given time and place.
