Subspace
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
- In mathematics, if a set with certain properties is called a space, then a subset of which with same properties is usually called a subspace. Those with entries in Biocrawler are:
- Linear subspaces (also called vector subspaces) in linear algebra;
- Topological subspaces in topology.
- There is a fictional notion of subspace used in science fiction; see Hyperspace (science fiction).
- The psychological state of the submissive partner in a BDSM scene is sometimes described as "subspace" or "sub space": see subspace (BDSM)
- Also another name for Hammerspace, commonly used in science-fiction settings, such as the Transformers cartoon series.
Subspace is below-normal space. In subspace, laws such as size or weight of an object don't exist while the object is still real and still exists in the real physical realm.
Subspace is different from hyperspace. Hyperspace is a higher plane that has infinite space and where normal rules do not apply
