Plural of 'continuum'; things that form a continuous series where elements cannot be distinctly separated.
Latin plural of 'continuum' (literally 'something continuous'), from 'continuus' (continuous). The word represents mathematical and philosophical concepts of unbroken sequences.
Continua are everywhere in nature—the spectrum of colors, temperature ranges, or time itself—and they challenge our brains because we think in categories but reality often refuses to be neatly separated.
