Antispace

/ˌæntiˈspeɪs/ noun

Definition

In mathematics and physics, a theoretical space or dimension that is opposite to or inverse to normal space; sometimes used in theoretical discussions.

Etymology

From 'anti-' (opposite) plus 'space,' from Latin 'spatium.' This is a neologism used in theoretical physics and speculative mathematics.

Kelly Says

In some theoretical physics discussions, 'antispace' appears as a thought experiment—it parallels 'antimatter' but for spatial dimensions, representing our fascination with discovering opposite versions of everything in the universe.
