Answer 1

Sailing ships in the 1500s are an example of **Time-Space Compression**. This concept refers to the idea that advancements in technology (such as sailing ships) reduce the time it takes to travel across distances, effectively "compressing" time and space. This technology allowed for more efficient trade, exploration, and communication, thereby connecting different parts of the world more closely than before.
