    This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric.

    A polygon and its two normal vectors A normal to a surface at a point is the same as a normal to the tangent plane to the surface at the same point.. In geometry, a normal is an object (e.g. a line, ray, or vector) that is perpendicular to a given object.

    E.g.: when one starts a movement scale in the Right High Direction, one is in the Vertical Plane. This plane exists of the combination of the Vertical Dimension and the Horizontal Dimension. When reaching to the Right High Direction, the natural way to balance the body is to move towards the 'missing' Sagittal Dimension, so in this case going ...

    The one in the middle, however, would have to be picked up and turned in three dimensions. A scalene triangle does not have mirror symmetries, and hence is a chiral polytope in 2 dimensions. In two dimensions, every figure which possesses an axis of symmetry is achiral, and it can be shown that every bounded achiral figure must have an axis of ...

  9. Space adaptation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_adaptation_syndrome

    Just as space sickness has the opposite cause compared to terrestrial motion sickness, the two conditions have opposite non-medicinal remedies. The idea of sensory conflict implies that the most direct remedy for motion sickness in general is to resolve the conflict by re-synchronizing what one sees and what one feels.
