A big thing. The distance to the chemist's at the corner is peanuts in comparison.

Ursprungligen skrivet av Devsman:
A infinitely-large geometric object defined by three orthogonal vectors

Or how about a collection of all distinct planes having a given gradient
Technically it's 4D and one of those vectors aren't like the others.

You're thinking of spacetime. Space is a geometric concept.

Also speaking of dimensionality in that way is kind of misleading. There are lines in any number of dimensions from 1 and up, and likewise there are spaces in any number of dimensions 3 and up. Hence how there are spaces in the 4-dimensional spacetime.

Time is what keeps everything from happening at once.

Space is what keeps words from all running together.

A passable area.

Available is shorter, I'll give you that. But, it seems contrived that the absence of space negates availability, while the absence of space does seem to negate passibility.
