Abstract
The purpose of this article is to show the relationship between space and time post 1905 using a sphere to simply illustrate relativity in an easy to visualize, 3D figure. Prior to 1905 space and time were considered independent quantities. Einstein considered the case where the space between objects related only by an electromagnetic wave or particle continuum which is usually defined as a light wave. Future articles on the "Light Sphere" will show other aspects of this spacetime model.
