  2. Hammerspace - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammerspace

    Hammerspace (also known as malletspace) is an imaginary extradimensional, instantly accessible storage area in fiction, which is used to explain how characters from animation, comics, and video games can produce objects out of thin air. Typically, when multiple items are available, the desired item is available on the first try or within a ...

  3. Glossary of architecture - Wikipedia

    Area or basement area In Georgian architecture, the small paved yard giving entry, via "area steps", to the basement floor at the front of a terraced house. Arris A sharp edge created when two surfaces converge; this includes the raised edge between two flutes on a column or pilaster, if that edge is sharp. Arris Rail

  4. Polygon with holes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygon_with_holes

    A face with a point hole is considered a monogonal hole, adding one vertex, and one edge, and can attached to a degenerate monogonal hosohedron hole, like a cylinder hole with zero radius. A face with a degenerate digon hole adds 2 vertices and 2 coinciding edges, where the two edges attach to two coplanar faces, as a dihedron hole.

  5. Interstitial space (architecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstitial_space...

    An interstitial space is an intermediate space located between regular-use floors, commonly located in hospitals and laboratory-type buildings to allow space for the mechanical systems of the building. By providing this space, laboratory and hospital rooms may be easily rearranged throughout their lifecycles and therefore reduce lifecycle cost.

  6. Spaghettification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spaghettification

    For a supermassive black hole, such as those found at a galaxy's center, this point lies within the event horizon, so an astronaut may cross the event horizon without noticing any squashing and pulling, although it remains only a matter of time, as once inside an event horizon, falling towards the center is inevitable. [7] For small black holes ...

  7. Wormhole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wormhole

    For a simplified notion of a wormhole, space can be visualized as a two-dimensional surface. In this case, a wormhole would appear as a hole in that surface, lead into a 3D tube (the inside surface of a cylinder), then re-emerge at another location on the 2D surface with a hole similar to the entrance.

  8. List of gravitationally rounded objects of the Solar System

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravitationally...

    This list does not include small Solar System bodies, but it does include a sample of possible planetary-mass objects whose shapes have yet to be determined. The Sun's orbital characteristics are listed in relation to the Galactic Center , while all other objects are listed in order of their distance from the Sun.

  9. Glossary of engineering: A–L - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_engineering:_A–L

    The center of mass of an object, its balance point. Center of mass The weighted center of an object; a force applied through the center of mass will not cause rotation of the object. Center of pressure is the point where the total sum of a pressure field acts on a body, causing a force to act through that point. The total force vector acting at ...
