WHAT DOES SPACE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

space

Space

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. In mathematics, "spaces" are examined with different numbers of dimensions and with different underlying structures. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework. Debates concerning the nature, essence and the mode of existence of space date back to antiquity; namely, to treatises like the Timaeus of Plato, or Socrates in his reflections on what the Greeks called khora, or in the Physics of Aristotle in the definition of topos, or even in the later "geometrical conception of place" as "space qua extension" in the Discourse on Place of the 11th-century Arab polymath Alhazen.

Definition of space in the English dictionary

The first definition of space in the dictionary is the unlimited three-dimensional expanse in which all material objects are located related adjective spatial. Other definition of space is an interval of distance or time between two points, objects, or events. Space is also a blank portion or area.

1
Paul Allen

2
Tadao Ando

3
Jean Baudrillard

Nate Berkus
In design-speak, 'a library' means a room lined with books, floor-to ceiling, but it all depends on the space you have. You may have a free-standing bookshelf of your favorite books if that's all you have room for.
5
David Brainerd
The whole world appears to me like a huge vacuum, a vast empty space, whence nothing desirable, or at least satisfactory, can possibly be derived; and I long daily to die more and more to it; even though I obtain not that comfort from spiritual things which I earnestly desire.
6
Deana Carter
I wanted this album to sound like a big crocheted blanket - to be warm yet to have a lot of space.

Tom Chatfield
Once the words of a book appear onscreen, they are no longer simply themselves; they have become a part of something else. They now occupy the same space, not only as every other digital text, but as every other medium, too.
9
Eduardo Chillida
Boundaries are actually the main factor in space, just as the present, another boundary, is the main factor in time.
10
Laurel Clark
We're looking at Earth science, observing our planet. Also space science, looking at the ozone in the atmosphere around our Earth. Also looking at life science. And on a human level, using ourselves as test subjects.
